Editing Stacking window manager (section)

== Hybrid window managers ==
Some window managers may be able to treat the foreground window in an entirely different way, by rendering it indirectly, and sending its output to the video card to be added to the outgoing [[raster graphics|raster]]. While this technique may be possible to accomplish within some stacking window managers, it is technically [[compositing]], with the foreground window and the screen raster being treated the same way two windows would be in a [[compositing window manager]].

Interacting with objects outside the original area of the foreground window might also be impossible, since the window manager would not be able to determine what the user is seeing, and would pass such mouse clicks to whatever programs occupied those areas of the screen during the last stacking event.
