Once mapped, you can restack windows at will with XConfigureWindow.  The WM
is supposed to pull out the other client window ID from the request and stack
your frame relative to the frame containing the other client window.

However, you can't do this before the window is mapped as the window 
manager will likely be ignoring your window.
