           Summary: posibility to persistently configure the Z-Order of
                    plasmoids which overlap each other
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: containment-desktop
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: yojoe schneebrett com


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

If two or more plasmoids (e.g. photo frames) overlap each other, there's currently no \
way to make a certain, selected one to be on top of another one. The current Z-Order \
of a widget seems currently to be totally random, not persistent and in no way \
comprehensible for the user.

You may ask what this is useful for, that plasmoids overlap each other!? Well I like \
it very much, to add several photo frame widgets to the desktop and slightly rotate \
and slightly let them overlap each other. This way it looks like they were randomly \
thrown there and for my flavor this looks really cool and makes the desktop more \
alive like a real desk, much better than photos which are placed side by side like on \
a grid layout.

The problem is, currently there's no way to determine which widget overlaps which \
widgets. I'll call this the Z-Order on the screen. Even if you manage somehow to make \
a certain widget on top of the others and lock the widgets, it may happen that this \
one is no longer on top after the next login. Or if you unlock the desktop, because \
you need to move/place an icon somewhere else and accidentally hover over your photo \
frames, then the Z-Order is completely mixed up again.

Therefore I would like to request for a way that users can explicitly and exactly \
define the Z-Order of plasmoids/widgets, which is  a) kept/persistent between KDE \
sessions and  b) even kept, if the user hovers over a widget when it is unlocked. \
Meaning: Hovering a widget does not cause it's Z-Order to be changed. \
