I'm using 5.0 right now, and I see that I can turn off "behave like a 
background." I don't really see any functional difference.

At any rate, I was able to make a group that lies in the top layer. I have to 
manually (using the Object menu) place it on each card. The place command gives 
me an error:

place group "Waiting" onto this card

results in:

Message execution error:
Error description: Chunk: can't find background
