Wine does very little z-order manipulation and instead relies on hints to the
window manager. Trying to enforce the exact z-order semantics of Windows hasn't
worked well with window managers, which also expect to control the z-order.

The exception to this is that we raise a window when it becomes the topmost
Wine window: http://source.winehq.org/source/dlls/winex11.drv/window.c#L1225

So it's not clear to me why HWND_NOTOPMOST would move your window behind
anything, unless you're triggering a window manager behavior. Some window
managers have protections against programs that spontaneously raise or steal
focus. Does the same thing happen in a virtual desktop?
