Right. I'm only trying to apply the stacking between X11 windows.

Nedit is an X11 app. So I've got 2 X apps, one running Nedit, the other displaying a window with the STATE_ABOVE property. The Nedit window will stack above the other window when it has focus.

When running on Linux (CentOS 5.9 with the default window manager) the stacking order always keeps the window with the STATE_ABOVE property on top of the Nedit window, regardless of focus.

I've modified the ATOM on a window to have the _NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE property, however MacOS X11 doesn't appear to honor this request.

I don't know if quartz-wm claims EWMH compatibility to that extent; I think it is guaranteed to break in the case of native windows, because X11 cannot see them at all --- there is no way to make native OS X windows sufficiently compatible with X11, so (among other things) window stacking is only relative to other X11 windows.
