Hi Gerhard,

which part of unmanaged don't you understand :). Currently unmanaged
means ratpoison ignores the window. So there's no way to get an
unmanaged window back on top.

I'm not entirely opposed to "improving" the unmanaged
functionality. Perhaps having unmanaged windows always on top is the
Right Way to do it.

But since I don't use unmanaged windows I'd have a hard time finding
time to do this. But...feel free to send a patch to the mailing list :).
