    window: Freeze stack when calculating showing state
    
    Constantly manipulating the stack caused severe stalls (several seconds)
    with many open windows when switching workspaces. The cause for this was
    that each show/hide call dealt with the stack in isolation, meaning if
    you hid N windows, we'd manipulate and synchronize the stack N times,
    potentially doing synchronous calls to the X server while doing so.
    
    Avoid the most severe stalls by freezing the stack while calculating
    showing; this made the worst case go from several seconds to around
    10-20 ms, which is still bad, but by far not as bad.
