Idea: match a rule against fceux. implement a new kind of rule for floating windows along with that and "squeeze" it to the background. there was a fix against floating windows landing underneath fullscreen or stacked windows on this list that made it into mainline dwm, where you will find out about xlib's z-indexing functionality, which will point you the way by saving you a lot of learning. another idea: there are at least 20 emulators that are capable of emulating nes. try to find a sane one among these. hacker's idea: fix fceux; obviously it's committing severe crimes against x11. cheers! mar77i
