Description Will Stephenson 2008-09-22 15:22:53 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Scenario: Compositing enabled, "Desktop grid" desktop switcher in use.

I have kmail on all desktops and on top.

During the switch animation the windows from the desktop being switched to slide on and cover the kmail window.  At the end of the switch kmail is drawn on top.  This looks bad, worse if kmail is maximised.

Expected behaviour: figure out the window stack before starting the animation, so that the window on top on all desktops stays still, windows from other desktop should slide under it.

root cause is missing support of per-desktop stacking order
