race condition. remember they run in parallel - and so the client that manages to start and CREATE its window first will likely be on bottom (unless they raise their window with XRaiseWindow() or XMapRaised() later). so you need to modify the programs to explicitly go "bottom code - just after creating window - lower it" for example.
