This looks a lot nicer.  Mockups if anyone wants of the top, middle, 
and bottom focus cases are at

I agree here.  Individual frames can be 'hidden' by selecting another frame 
in the stack to be on top anyways.  

Hmmm.  What about the client menu?  I suppose it can just be the same; 
selecting an entry would raise that stack as well as making the entry 
top of the stack.

Sorry about that.

} (and I've tried since wmx-4 ;)

Plus, should it be left as a compile-time option?
