Subject: [PATCH] Avoid restacking animating hidden actors

Since the stack passed to the compositor now accurately reflects
the X stacking order, we need to treat hidden windows (which are
at the bottom of the X stacking order) specially - when the
compositor stacking order is synced, try to keep animating hidden
actors in their old positions in the stack.
