This was possibly a fix for bug report #232. See the attached
text file of the bug repot.
Unfortunately the cvs server is gone, so I can't look up which
commit added it. Is there any git copy of 2.4 floating around?

We are running fvwm on top of PCXWare on Windows NT. Sigh.
With fvwm 2.1.5 and earlier, fvwm windows could be raised above the native
NT
windows. With 2.1.7 and 2.2 (we think 2.1.7 and on, but this is all we have
tested),
this functionality does not work.

Mon Apr 12 10:58:20 1999 clasen The current CVS version now has a fix
for
this which
triggers only for the Hummingbird Exceed X Server.
We need the ServerVendor id (eg xdpyinfo output) for
the server in question to extend the fix. Or maybe
we should apply the fix for all NT-based X servers ?

Sometime late in the 2.1.x beta phase I put a patch on
my "Unofficial Patches" page that provides an option to
revert to the old handling of the stacking order.
Unfortunately, I still need to upgrade it for 2.2 -
a last-minute bug fix for the release broke compatibility
with the patch. I'll put up a corrected version this
evening and notify you.
I wonder if this option is worth adding to the next
release, with a big warning note that its use is *highly*
deprecated, and reintroduces bugs that are long since
fixed...?
