i tend to keep everything in acme, with other windows
peeking out from behind.  i can usually arrange that
the windows i care about don't fully cover each other.

what i'd really like is some kind of expose thing.
i have also tried, at times, grabbing a control key
(like control-tab) to cycle the windows, but i've never
gotten it working satisfactorily (x causes all sorts of headache).
F11 has been working well for me.

in short i don't think there is a good solution yet.
