How to maintain relative position of two surfaces?

[Jasper St. Pierre]

The only way to position surfaces relatively one to another is by using a
subsurface. But I imagine this isn't exactly what you want.

Can you explain a bit more about your use case? What happens if I put one
surface on a different workspace from the others? Should the two be stacked
independently (e.g. your window A, my terminal, your window B)? What
happens when I resize the surfaces? Or maximize or fullscreen them?
