in icewm you can right click on the title bar and set 'layer' to one of:
menu
above dock
dock
on top
normal
below
desktop

this is useful for example for watching a movie in the corner of the
screen while you do your business, or looking at one window and typing in
another on a small monitor.

there's also a global setting in prefs
RaiseOnFocus=1 # 0/1
