I have something to add here.

I've noticed that, using multiple workspaces, that the stacking 
of the z-grams sometimes seems sometimes to be DIFFERENT on different
workspaces.  I'd clicked away the z-gram just as I was noticing that it
was under one thing in one workspace and on top of another in another
workspace, and so I'd made a mental note to
be more careful and document the EXACT behavior when I saw it again.
