This was possibly a fix for bug report #232.  See the attached
text file of the bug repot.

Unfortunately the cvs server is gone, so I can't look up which
commit added it.  Is there any git copy of 2.4 floating around?

Ciao

Subject: FVWM2 interaction with PCXware

Full_Name: Mark Paterson
Version: 2.1.7, 2.2

OS: Digital Unix 4.0D

We are running fvwm on top of PCXWare on Windows NT. Sigh.
With fvwm 2.1.5 and earlier, fvwm windows could be raised above the native
NT
windows. With 2.1.7 and 2.2 (we think 2.1.7 and on, but this is all we hav=
e
tested),
this functionality does not work.

    Sometime late in the 2.1.x beta phase I put a patch on
my "Unofficial Patches" page that provides an option to
revert to the old handling of the stacking order.

    Unfortunately, I still need to upgrade it for 2.2 -
a last-minute bug fix for the release broke compatibility
with the patch. I'll put up a corrected version this
evening and notify you.

    I wonder if this option is worth adding to the next
release, with a big warning note that its use is *highly*
deprecated, and reintroduces bugs that are long since
fixed...?
