Issue 95: Improve floating layer usability http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=95 Comment #1 by m...@christian-thiemann.de: This issue was bugging me a lot last week while preparing images for a presentation with gimp... so I already started looking into the code on how to fix this. As far as I understood, floating windows are simply tagged to be floating while the (visual) window stacking order is determined by the stacking order in the StackSet. In my opinion and as you said, the only defect of the floating layer is the lack of a raise function that can be triggered either by mouse (raise-on-click) or by keyboard (just to be consistent with the "keyboardless window manager" approach... although most people would probably use the mouse in the floating mode...). This could be done either by simply rearranging the windows in the StackSet or by maintaining an additional ordered list of floating windows (which are not present in the tiling stack). The former approach has the side effect that a floating window will not sink back into the same position where it was when set to floatig while the latter solution is just... er... I don't know... I actually like the first one better for conceptual reasons... Unless somebody immediately know how to code this, I would be happy to implement... but currently I am quite busy so I won't get on it before the weekend, I guess.
