There really should not be a "fullscreen layer" which is what is causing
this problem. "layers" are imho a mistake except for the desttop and the
mouse cursor.
What I think needs to happen:
Fullscreen, normal windows, and "panels" can be arranged in any stacking
order, except the compositor enforces this rule:
The "panels" are always just below the lowest fullscreen window. If
there are no fullscreen windows then the panel is above all windows.
There are several ways to enforce this but one that matches current
window apis is:
1. When a window is "raised" and there are no fullscreen windows, the
panels are also raised to remain above it. If there are fullscreen
windows then the panel is not moved. Note that a window can be raised
above a fullscreen window, thus solving this bug.
2. Whan a window switches to fullscreen it is also raised (thus it will
end up above the panel). (an alternative is to lower the panel but that
is not standard behavior in existing windowing systems).
3. When the last fullscreen window switches to non-fullscreen, the panel
is raised above all windows.
