[comp.lang.smalltalk] ST/V: Has anyone changed the "window system"?

I have an application using drag-and-drop between windows. ST/V insists 
that you click a window to make it active AND it always brings it to the
top. Ok, a focus-follows-mouse is fairly easy to implement, but I don't
want to bring it to the top.

Has anyone fiddled around with that? One idea is to extend the notion
of the clipping rectangle. I guess you have to check every single pixel
written to the screen but many applications seem to write straight to 
Display (this is fine if you are on top of everything.)

Any ideas?
