Note that <xul:stack> is generally a simplistic hack that violates the painting
model in numerous ways and breaks in the presence of all sorts of things
(opacity, clipping, positioning, etc, etc).  So this may not even be an SVG bug,
and probably isn't if SVG outer frames have a view.

this seems to have been fixed in current trunk (xulrunner at least), but it crashed when I did a rollover on the button

actually the crash occurs on rollover of the svg:rect

also tested with latest minefield nightly and the render order seems to be fixed

Marking as WORKSFORME based on comment 3.

Please raise another but about crashing on rollovers with a testcase assuming it is still crashing on the latest nightlies.
