 I think perhaps we can allow changing these modes on open windows as
well. The code for this is already working in XaAES... Furthermore,
these windows can be controlled just like any other window with respect
to positioning, sizing, etc., by the application, right?

 Yes, thats the same as in XaAES. And ofcourse the last topmost window
will float above all others. In XaAES it is possible to bring a
'floating' window 'to the top' in cases where this is necessary. In
effect this is 'two layers' of windows, which was my concern earlier.
Reading Arnauds arguments that such windows should never disturb
keyboard focus calms me, tho :-) However, this is necessary when two
apps have a window with TOPMOST state 1 set; we want to pull the focused
applications window to the absolute top, right?

 yes, that would be lovely, thank you ;-)
