[openbox] window on the top

[Ctrl Alt Back]

Hi,

in my rc.xml :
<applications>
    <application class="*">
        <decor>no</decor>
    </application>
    <application class="pd">
        <decor>yes</decor>
	<layer>above</layer>
    </application>
</applications>

I tried all possible combinations, and Pd (Pure Data) is still not 
accepting decorations, hiding modal under etc. 

Also noticed strange behavior: 
tried to close unsaved patch in Pd, and modal dialog opened somewhere 
under other windows. Then i switch to another desktop, and when i come
back, modal is on the top.

In other WM it works that way. in openbox, modals are lost under.
It is not question of setting modals globally, question is what is it so
different from other WM that makes pd behave this way.

only option i found is <layer>above</layer>.

<decor>yes</decor> does not work either in this case, 
i tried in icewm-lite and it works ok.
