Hi, Thanks for your interest. I've taken the liberty of copying the fvwm-workers list. Some of the other workers may have more insight than I do. I wasn't the one that came up with the original solution. The RaiseHackNeeded switch is used in stack.c around line 723. We've found that we need to do this for all X emulators on Windows if we want to raise the X windows above the windows native windows. What that logic does is go thru every window in stacking order and raise them all. I guess thats because Reflection X (and all the other X emulators we know about) represent windows native windows as override redirect windows and the only way we can stack above them is to restack them all. This doesn't seem to cause any visible problem so I don't think you would need to change anything on your side. If you have any ideas about what we should be doing, we'd be happy to hear from you.
