I'm rather surprised you'd have such an issue, at all. The way I understood floating mode is that such windows should be on top of those which aren't floating. Also, if you write a size-based z-order sort, you should have dwm to cycle through windows with the same size or a size greater than the client area... and then things start to get real funky. There should be some kind of previous/next focused window functionality somewhere, which might find a lost window more easily. cheers! mar77i
