There isn't. Compositing window managers have been a reality on desktop 
machines since Mac OS X 10.2 (2002), maybe even before that.

The only really robust approach is asking the WM what are the visible 
windows and their stacking order. Keeping the order in Qt is also 
feasable, modulo of course bugs in the Qt / WM interaction...
