[openbox] window matching

[Eric Shattow]

What about Z-ordering?  in example, i have a floating gnome2 panel with 
my tasklist, and i'd like to always have the Z-ordering set to "always 
on bottom."   Besides keeping your windows X/Y where they were when you 
shutdown, should the openbox3 WM keep track of your windows Z where they 
were?

regards,
