Hmmm... that sounds like the panels launch with different hints if set to autohide, or even do tricks with multiple window. Worse case is if they later change hints, which could be wrong but still seems frequent (standards? bah!) and causes havoc to systems trying to match windows at launch (Sawfish, Devils' Pie, etc). > > I don't know why I haven't been using Sawfish in the past, but it > > certainly is my default WM now.

And even if same depth because you configured it so, or changed depths, they can be behind or above the full screen one, not always over it. Depths are just limits in what can go behind or above others, so all windows in layer N will be above N-1 but below N+1. GSR
