Oohhh-kaeeyyy ;-)

shouldn't keeping the desktop "stay below" fix your issue?

if not (i.e. you want it to be able to cover "normal" windows):

- setting the other windows (that shall stay above) to be transient to the 
"desktop" should keep them above (but i've never tried with fullscreens)

- if the windows that should stay above belong to the same process you could 
raise() them whenever the "desktop" get's (de)activated

- llod: at least for KWin you could add a rule to force the "desktop" to be 
/not/ fullscreen (i will internally remain fullscreen and get the relevant 
events, but kwin doesn't treat it as one -> setFullscreen(true) will /not/ 
magically maximize the window)

- for the moment i'm out of other ideas :-)

Skål,
Thomas
