Description
I've personally found this to be quite annoying on KDE plasma as it means every time I launch a game I have to ALT+F3, and disable the window's "always on top" functionality to ALT+TAB into my other windows and it plays kind of rough when I'd just like the game to spool up in the background while I do something else.
Is this behavior necessary? I think it would be much more preferable to just disable the compostior so you still quickly jump back to your web browser/ desktop enviornment and back in game and such.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the behavior on KDE Plasma and tracing Proton's window and compositor handling; done would mean games no longer force an always-on-top window while retaining correct fullscreen and compositor behavior.
