Description
XLowerWindow() lowers a window in the stacking order of its siblings so that it does not obscure any sibling windows. If the windows are
regarded as overlapping sheets of paper stacked on a desk, then lowering a window is analogous to moving the sheet to the bottom of the
stack, while leaving its x and y location on the desk constant. Lowering a mapped window will generate exposure events on any windows it
formerly obscured.
If the override_redirect attribute of the window (see Chapter 4, Window Attributes) is False and the window manager has selected Substruc-
tureRedirectMask on the parent, then a ConfigureRequest event is sent to the window manager, and no further processing is performed. Oth-
erwise, the window is lowered to the bottom of the stack.
LeaveNotify events are sent to the lowered window if the pointer was inside it, and EnterNotify events are sent to the window which was
immediately below the lowered window at the pointer position.
