Not ...

https://superuser.com/questions/1369172/find-out-x-server-window-manager-from-x-client

On my machine (your root win id will be different!)

bash-5.1$ xprop -root _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK
_NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK(WINDOW): window id # 0x120001f
bash-5.1$ xprop -id 0x120001f  _NET_WM_NAME
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "KWin"


Then depending on Window Manager name you read how to configure how
windows stacked relative to each other

in Fluxbox and kwin it all in GUI

Not sure about netBSD's default CTWM (from Linux right now)

If we still talk about keeping special window with text you prepared
with ImageMagick visible at all times
