Well 0.95.8 broke my *very* convenient use case of having a
fullscreen xterm with mail/build/whatever and a casual another
non-fullscreen one on top of it, or switching between two
fullscreen windows (yeah, those inventive users!).

I'd be grateful for an "advanced" knob making possible to ignore
this lame bit of the spec -- had to revert both g5561199 and
g6429847 in the mean time: having to Alt-Tab twice to get to a
newly created window (which isn't obvious at all in some cases
like ssh-askpass one) is a showstopper, g5561199 doesn't fully
help it.

Thank you for the work from someone who got onto WM back in 1999
or so, and who got back to it from Enlightenment (this particular
use case being one of *significant* advantages to me; there are
other pros and cons for both of these highly usable WMs of course).
