that doesn't make sense, though. iirc the appletbrowser has that set, and I 
think I set it on a bunch of stuff in plasma-overlay, and I still get mapnotify 
events... hmm... but we also check visibility events to trigger restacking, so 
maybe those aren't working...? or maybe stayontop() has issues... no, I'm 
pretty sure that stayontop works...

how often is this a case of the notification staying on top of the screensaver, 
and how often is it a case of the screensaver not bothering to redraw itself 
after something gets on top for a spilt second?

have you seen https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188408 ?
