[haiku-development] Window ordering Haiku vs. R5

Hi,
I was looking into task #1987 and it turns out that one part is not so easy
to fix. The xkill window is search thru the app servers window list to get
the window under the x. While this works fine on R5 on Haiku it will always
return Tracker. This seems to be an ordering problem on how the window
tokens are returned from the app_server.
TaskManager calls get_token_list(...) which will end up in
Desktop::WriteWindowList(...). It returns a proper list of tokens, but they
have no order. The window_info struct contains a member called layer and
that seems to be an ordering of the windowtype on R5, whereas on Haiku it
will always return 0.
This will also effect the the autoraise app which will check for layer < 3
for the Desktop window, basically it should not work at all.
Is there any info out there on how that ordering is performed and are there
plans to support this? Any information would be helpful. :)
Regards,
Karsten
Attached some debug output of R5 running Tracker, Terminal and Taskmanager.
