Always put them as the top-most layer in the layer list of their parent. This ensures that, for example, the popup menu produced by right-clicking on a surface (which is not currently at the top of the stacking order in the current workspace) is displayed at the top of the stacking order.
Weston Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a useful compositor in its own right. Weston has various backends that lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as under X11. Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more complete clients and a simplistic toolkit. There is also a quite capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop shell. Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window manager. Refer to http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html for buiding weston and its dependencies.
