There is somewhere a note that fullscreen windows are on top of everything else in case they are focused and are restacked below above and dock windows if not focused. This is also how kwin handles it. E.g. you can raise Yakuake (using above) over a fullscreen window as it will get focus immediately. The dock is also put on top of the fullscreen window in that case. Cheers Martin
