8877 - [FEATURE]Mozilla wants to support window z-order

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Dan M]

Top level windows need to support z-ordering.  This is a customer feature request for enabling things like
floating toolbars.  It's also necessary for supporting the Navigator 4 "alwaysLowered" and "alwaysRaised"
window.open features.

Setting to XP Apps for consideration.

Wouldn't this belong in the XPToolkit?

Yep it is an XPToolkit issue. It should be noted that no one ever came up with a
web page that used the alwaysLowered or alwaysRaised window flag but I am sure
there is 1  customer on some intranet.

  Only implemented on Windows and the Mac (and keeping in mind Mac bugs 34540 and 
34542, which aren't much of a problem for what we need z-ordering for today, but 
will be a problem in the future.) I'm led to understand that the whole Window 
Manager issue makes this nearly impossible on gtk, and our gtk zealot(s) aren't 
certain they even want the functionality. Other platforms are on their own, 
though most of the code behind this is cross-platform.
  Calling it fixed.
