Hello IOhannes,
Actually, I've been wondering about this myself. What do you mean with "configure the window manager"? As in people changing this manually on their computer settings, or as in hard-coded in the PD code?
The vast majority of applications have pop-ups appearing on top of old windows, except from PD, on the same computer. Does it have to do with tk/tcl?

you can configure your window manager on linux to make the popup appear on top of old windows (or not!) you cannot configure your window manager on windows.
