Okay, I'm current writting an OS, and in preparation I'm writting a GUI
prototype and test bed.  I'm wondering if anybody has any suggestions on
how I should solve the window-order dilemma?  Should I simply z-sort
them?

At the moment what I've got in mind is actually using an optomized
s-buffer algorithm.  I suspect it'll work fairly well, but it's
certainly not the most elegant solution.  I'd be very happy if someone
could suggest another solution.

What is the typical approach?  What does SWORD, etc. use?

Thanks a lot,
Jeff
