Description

Karousel version: 0.13
Plasma version: 6.4.3
X11 / Wayland: X11

Window class: WM_CLASS(STRING) = "", "rio"
Window caption (title): zsh - andy@dimwell.0
Window type: NET::Normal

Description:

With Karousel's layering mode set to keep tiled windows below, the Rio terminal window (rio 0.2.2) doesn't get that applied at first:

$ xprop|grep -i 'state.*='
_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED

But after untiling Rio then re-tiling it, the attribute is applied as expected:

$ xprop|grep -i 'state.*='
_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED, _NET_WM_STATE_BELOW

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with Karousel 0.13, Plasma 6.4.3 on X11, and Rio 0.2.2, using xprop to inspect _NET_WM_STATE. Trace the layering-mode handling for newly tiled windows and compare it with the untiling and re-tiling path. Done means Rio receives _NET_WM_STATE_BELOW when first tiled while the keep-tiled-windows-below mode is enabled.
