.SH NAME
lower \- Change a window's position in the stacking order
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBlower \fIwindow \fR?\fIbelowThis\fR?
.BE
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
If the \fIbelowThis\fR argument is omitted then the command lowers
\fIwindow\fR so that it is below all of its siblings in the stacking
order (it will be obscured by any siblings that overlap it and
will not obscure any siblings).
If \fIbelowThis\fR is specified then it must be the path name of
a window that is either a sibling of \fIwindow\fR or the descendant
of a sibling of \fIwindow\fR.
In this case the \fBlower\fR command will insert
\fIwindow\fR into the stacking order just below \fIbelowThis\fR
(or the ancestor of \fIbelowThis\fR that is a sibling of \fIwindow\fR);
this could end up either raising or lowering \fIwindow\fR.
.PP
All \fBtoplevel\fR windows may be restacked with respect to each
other, whatever their relative path names, but the window manager is
not obligated to strictly honor requests to restack.
