I have not looked at your patch but it breaks one of my test apps; it seems
that an uncaring programmer asked to set topmost a 'child of the 'desktop'.
I guess that what he wanted was just to set the window at the top
of the z-order.
Does the following patch work also with your app(s) ?
Hmm, I see that I have also a problem with another test app; a config dialog
that used to come before the main window now hides itself behind;
it's a Borland test app - I guess that my licence includes the right
to distribute binaries, so I can send it to you if you're interested
(it's a fascinating game known as 'swat', really an apt symbol of
my activity with Wine :-))
