If the X11 app is fullscreen, it will automatically become the
topmost=20
window, so even “Always On Top” windows will end up under it.
If you run the X11 app in windowed mode, you could make the SDL
window=20
"Always On Top". SDL doesn’t support that, AFAIK, so you have to
deal=20
directly with X11 for this.
Another solution might be to make sure the X11 app doesn’t cover the=20
area of the screen where you want to put your SDL window. That way,=20
window Z order doesn’t matter. You also avoid the performance issues=20
caused by overlapping windows with some drivers.

Thanks David For suggestion,
David Sorry to say that the program that I made ,I am running under X mode not in windowed mode,so I want to run my program on bottom ,I read in mailing list some time before that it is possible to put your sdl screen on any existing area but I am not sure about it,as I am not expert about it,I am passing the some source code that is making window/screen in my non-sdl program on which I want to run my sdl program.please suggest me,as this source is not written by me so I have to suggest to the guy who written this code how i can put my sdl screen on bottom,and one more thing for setting up my sdl window postion on bottom I have to set one enveironment variable,will it affect the non-sdl program screen position and as you told me about performence issue how it can be affect the performence .please suggest me,given below is the code that is making screen for non-sdl program…
