X doesn't allow you to stop zwgc from raising itself to the top. The
sipb xscreensaver has the same problem.
The redrawing problem is a bug in (some of) the hacks, not
xscreensaver itself, and can't be fixed without making them keep big
pixmaps around so they can recover their state when they get an Expose
event. (And we'd have to fix each of the individual hacks to do this.)
