The CleverPlacement algorithm uses various penalties when placing
windows. Placing windows under a window in a higher layer uses an
avoidance factor 5 times higher compared to normal windows. This
is the reason why windows are rarely placed unden "OnTop" windows
with CleverPlacement. However, if you create enough windows on a
high layer, normal windows *will* be placed beneath them.

I didn't want to hear "why does the gnome panel obscure all my windows"
after 2.4 over and over again. How about
style *gnome* GNOMEIgnoreHints
as default? :-)=)
