For a new project, I'm creating a custom screen and a backdrop window of
the same size.  According to the RKM, the screen's title bar should
*never* be obscured (barring a special call to ShowTitle()).  And, on a
vanilla machine, this is exactly what happens.

However, when running dmouse (1.06), clicking on the backdrop window
causes it to move *in front* of the title bar, erasing it until it is
forced to be redrawn by bringing up the menu bar.

I don't recall seeing this discussed before; is this a misunderstanding,
or a known or unknown bug in dmouse?
