Just now there was a bunch of z-grams stacked up.
I clicked them away one at a time watching the monotonically decreasing
timestamps.
Then I switched to a workspace where a terminal window appeared in the
midst of the z-grams stacked.
I clicked a couple away, and happened upon one with an apparently
LATER timestamp.
I think the restore of z-grams when workspaces changes may be affected
by by window stacking order in the different workspaces.
