Running epoch in OPENWINDOWS environment and having a lot of windows open 
is very irritating of one reason: 
The epoch window always comes to the front (lying above all other windows) 
when you move the cursor(arrow, mouse) through the epoch window. 
Even if you before have put it in the back (behind all other windows)!

Other window applications becomes active but keeps its position 
when the cursor moves through the window.

I would be very greatful if anyone help me getting around with 
this problem.

Two commands from my personal-epoch.el file (from somewhere in the
Epoch distribution, don't remember where):

      ;;; Don't do autoraise.
      (setq auto-raise-screen nil)

      ;;; Raise minibuffer whenever a screen is selected.
      (push (function (lambda () (raise-screen (minibuf-screen)))) 
            *select-screen-hook*)

Hope this helps,

Marc
