Can you provide a hint on how to do that?  I've set up
devilspie to raise new windows (as long as they're not the
desktop window), but now the panels are broken:

 * When I put a window at the edge of the desktop, the edge is
   no longer sensitive.

 * When a panel un-hides, it's below other windows, and often
   can't be seen.   

How did the 4.6 window manager get released while it was still
so broken?

Here's my .devilspie config:

(if (not (is (application_name) "xfdesktop"))
    (begin
     (print "window_name:" (window_name))
     (println "       application_name:" (application_name))
     (above)))
