* @short_description: Which windows cover which other windows
*
* There are two factors that determine window position.
*
* One is window->stack_position, which is a unique integer
* indicating how windows are ordered with respect to one
* another. The ordering here transcends layers; it isn't changed
* as the window is moved among layers. This allows us to move several
* windows from one layer to another, while preserving the relative
* order of the moved windows. Also, it allows us to restore
* the stacking order from a saved session.
*
* However when actually stacking windows on the screen, the
* layer overrides the stack_position; windows are first sorted
* by layer, then by stack_position within each layer.
