I wish I could say the same for myself.
which version of Qt do you have ? I have 2.3.1 here (FreeBSD port) and
looking into the source:
...
qwidget_x11.cpp:276
} else { // Style_NoBorder
setWFlags( WX11BypassWM ); // ### compatibility
}
...
qwidget_x11.cpp:290
if ( testWFlags( WX11BypassWM ) ) {
wsa.override_redirect = TRUE;
wsa_mask |= CWOverrideRedirect;
}
...
as I understand, override_redirect means that when this window is mapped
window manager will not receive notification event and will not start
to manage this window, so it will be able to put other managed windows
above floaty windows. At least that's true for afterstep.

I had the same problem with windowmaker and judging from the code snippet
above I can not understand how fvwm does it.

that's the reason why I wanted to share this. if we have other unlucky
souls stuck with afterstep and having the same issue, this information may be
worth including into some README.afterstep
