The following problem has appeared since upgrading to 3005.

When selecting a window that overlaps another window in X, the two overlapping
windows will "fight" for who is on top.  This problem is much more frequent
if I select the new window by clicking on it in a spot that is already on
top of the competing overlapping window.  The window I want usually ends up
on top but not always.  Anyone have a fix for this?

Click on the X and the middle and bottow window fight for who is on top.
