Raise or lower a window shortcut

[Michal Szymanski]

Hi,

There was a few (namely, three) short threads about this topic back in
2005. The topic is: 

Can we have (back) a single keyboard shortcut, configurable as othe
shortcuts are, to perform a function which was called in old WMs
"RaiseLower", i.e. raise window if it is obscured at any part by other
window(s), otherwise lower it

I am so used to it (having it in all WMs and Desktop Managers from twm 20
years ago to current versions of Gnome) that it was actually THE reason for
abandoning XFCE when it lost this feature on transition from version 3 to 4. 
I have never understood why it happened.

Below, one of the above mentioned mini-threads. It seems that the the
discussion then ended with filing a request for enhancement.

The replay from Thierry was: "done". But it did not appeared in any of the
following versions that I tried. So finally I stopped trying.

So the question is: does the actual version (4.8 I believe) have it back?
