This part is clear, but would it be possible for you to arrange the
windows so that the stacking order is also apparent?

I understand that read-from-minibuffer pops up a minibuffer frame, or
at least it should.  Does that frame become the topmost in the
stacking order after read-from-minibuffer is called, or does it stay
below other windows, like it was before the call to
read-from-minibuffer?

Thanks.
