Change rooted_window_levels in xpr.h

If you search the archives, you'll see that these are applications that grab focus and then drop it (or run and have a very small life).

> What happens is, every window (rootless or fullscreen) including the shielding window, lose focus... nothing else really grabs focus, and Xquartz is still the active application... its just all windows lose focus for a second or two, then the last window that was in focus comes back into focus if you haven't click on anything.  Its not actually changing to another app...  I've reproduced this on many many machines now, even with bare minimum software running to get OSX to run, including getting rid of Dashboard or anything else that could be problematic, and it never changes... just once an hour or two, sometimes only takes 10 minutes... its totally random... just "poof" and all X11 windows lose focus... then come back.  Its highly annoying in fullscreen since it hides the shielding window and you lose the whole fullscreen and see the desktop... it happens more often when I'm not running quartz-wm than when I am. (I never run it in fullscreen)

Yep.  That's consistent with what has been reported over the past few years.  Some people were able to fix this by disabling lastfm, itunes helper, ical helper, growl, and some others.
