Video Window is always on top

Hi All,

We ported angstrom in Devkit8000 & using Metacity Window Manager with
Kernel Linux-2.6.38-rc1+. USB,video,audio,etc.. functionalities are
working well. We have problem of swapping video window with other
window in the screen.

When windows with non-video is getting swapped well. But in case any
of the window have the video then, only the border part of video
window is going back but the video is still visible at the
foreground.

Please help us.

video "overlays" can be either on top of OSD, or under the OSD and
only visible where the "alpha" is 0. you need to change the dss
setting to use alpha mode and tell your wm to put a transparency
where the video overlays is.

Or use colour keying.
