Sibling window have the same parent. The parent of your
override-redirect window will be the root window and the parent of your
normal client will be an fvwm window so you won't be able to use
XRestack on them both.

Well, you could use XQueryTree() recursively to find the window that is
a child of the root and is an ancestor of your normal client (under fvwm
it is the grandparent of the client, other window managers are
different). You can restack these two but be aware that fvwm may get
confused or it may restack them itself in a different order. i.e. don't
expect this to work for long.
