New issue 550 by yurac... at gmail.com: Feature request: configurable restack  
order
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=550

It would be nice to be able to modify the window stacking order. Currently
the core forces floating windows on top of the liled ones.

I attach a patch that makes the stacking order configurable through  
layouts. The patch also contains a layout modifier that restacks windows in  
fifo order - regardless of whether floating or not. For example, if window  
A is focused and I now focus window B, then B moves on top of A in the  
stacking order and the rest remain unchanged.

This behavior is the one I like. It is natural for someone who works
a lot with floating windows. However, I found no way to get such behavior  
without modifying the core.

Note that my patch cooperates well with the UpdatePointer action. In my  
config file I also disabled focusFollowsMouse, but this is optional.

Hope this can be useful.
Thanks
