Bug Description
Windows A, B and C map (placed on top), and must stack relative to each other
Window A gets stacked beneath D (which is a panel),
Window B should be stacked above A,
Window C should be stacked above B,
What happened was that updateAttributes would be called and
request to put window B above A, which it was already above in
CompScreen:
we check if the window is pending a restack and then request to put it
above the same window it was already a sibling to if findSiblingBelow found
that to be the case.
This could case GIMP and Libreoffice to be stacked above panels in some cases on startup, since those windows must be placed at the top of the stack on startup, and if valid stack positions are not given to them by updateAttributes because we filtered them out as no-ops, then they would remain at the top of the stack.
