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.

Yes, I understand that. EWMH is not mandatory, and if the window manager doesn't support it then EWMH atoms won't do anything.

pyanfar:20016 Z$ xprop -root _NET_SUPPORTED
_NET_SUPPORTED(ATOM) = _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW, _NET_CLIENT_LIST, _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING, _NET_CLOSE_WINDOW, _NET_SUPPORTED, _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK, _NET_WM_ACTION_CLOSE, _NET_WM_ACTION_FULLSCREEN, _NET_WM_ACTION_MAXIMIZE_HORZ, _NET_WM_ACTION_MAXIMIZE_VERT, _NET_WM_ACTION_MINIMIZE, _NET_WM_ACTION_MOVE, _NET_WM_ACTION_RESIZE, _NET_WM_ACTION_SHADE, _NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS, _NET_WM_NAME, _NET_WM_STATE, _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN, _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN, _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_HORZ, _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_VERT, _NET_WM_STATE_MODAL, _NET_WM_STATE_SHADED, _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_PAGER, _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR, _NET_WM_STATE_STICKY, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_COMBO, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DESKTOP, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DND, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DROPDOWN_MENU, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_MENU, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NOTIFICATION, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_POPUP_MENU, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLBAR, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLTIP, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_UTILITY

I don't see STATE_ABOVE in there, so this is expected behavior.
