The problem is that I need to find the stacking order of the windows
directly under the cursor; neither XQueryTree or XGetGeometry help.

These calls will only help you find which windows are under the cursor, they
do not help you if you want to find the order the windows are stacked in at
the point under the cursor.

Is there any way to find the stacking order?
