I am looking for a program that will change the behavior of an active
window.  I want to be able to leave the active window behind an
inactive one.  I have tried raise, which will make the window under
the mouse cursor become active, but will not make it active without
also bringing the window to the front.  I frequently find it useful to
have two text windows which overlap yet be able to see the left hand
portion of both windows.  TWM for X allows this sort of behavior; you
must explicitly click on the menu bar to bring the window to the
front.

Any pointers to such a program or confirmation that this is / isn't 
possible would be appreciated.
