Desktop,Normal,OnTop might work. 

I'd like to implement 2 special behaviors though:
  - desktop can be raised by special command and gets lowered immediatelly
as another window gets raised.

  - fullscreen windows can be raised above ontop windows, but get lowered
below if another window is activated.

This can't be cleanly done with layers.
