Have you tried looking at the settings for your window manager? I know
with mwm (yes, I still use it) you can change the button bindings so that,
for instance, a mouse button down in a window can call f.nop instead of
the usual f.raise. Depending on how standardized your window manager wants
your applications to behave, you might be able to fix your problem by
reconfiguring your window manager. You may even be able to do this on a
window class or window name basis which would be done in .Xdefaults.

Thanks, Michael,
I already tried it, and it didn't work as expected.
To manage the stacking order properly, each window has to be set transient
for
the window below it in the stack. But changing the order in this
"transient
list" doesn't work as expected : sometimes windows remain at their
previous Z-
order after the call. It seems that gtk_window_set_transient_for() is
merely
designed to manage dialog boxes that open over a document window, and not
to
apply changes to existing windows stack ordering.
I'm still trying to go further with this function though. So far, the only
solution I could find with this function is, when something changes in the
stack order, to delete the transient info of each and every window, then
rebuild it entirely.
It seems to work, but it's not straightforward. I'll tell here the results
of
my experiments.

Olivier
