Because that's not done through notification -- that's just really
checking whether the window is in a layer that other windows don't
interfere with.

I expect the behind windows are Visible because they are needed for
transparency - alpha compositing will require the window to maintain its
entire surface as though it were on top.


I was thinking about the same thing, however server-side compositing
does not support window transparency at all (xcompmgr -a). Also the
server-side compositing does not mess with window events - it just
enables automatic compositing.

But then again, why would Overlapped condition work flawlessly with
xcompmgr running ?

I can only guess that xcompmgr suppresses VisibilityNotify events
for windows.
