i made rio do this in some version or other.

i liked the idea, but unfortunately my naive approach caused it to
crash occasionally (i probably broke some invariant or other)..

it's probably just a matter of finding the right process to do it, or
the right structure to lock (you don't have to much around with the
data structures much).

this isn't too bad as the highest window in the z-order is usually
also the window you've touched most recently, and that fits quite well
with subconscious expectations.
