I am not sure if it answers your question but
here is a link to the EWMH draft which describes
stacking order.

http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/1.4/ar01s07.html#STACKINGORDER

The panels are _NET_WM_TYPE_DOCK, so really the
only windows which would appear over them are
full screen windows (_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN
state).

Mike
