Is it that simple though? For simplicity I'll just talk about the _below
state, but the same applies in reverse for _above. If the state is
removed, the window shouldn't be raised right to the front, true, but
what if it was below another _below window? Shouldn't it now be raised
above that? That could be done by manipulating client_list_stacking as
in clientRaiseForce, but if it has any transients they'll make it a bit
more fiddly.
