This breaks alt-tab on single-output configurations.  The idea is that
you can alt-tab to a different window and the fullscreen surface (and
black surface) will get stacked below the panel and the activated app
will be raised on top of the fullscreen surface.

To make this work, I suppose we can add a heuristic that if you
activate an app that is not overlapping with the output the fullscreen
window is on, we don't lower the fullscreen surface.
