Hello:
I want to let child-frame display above all other window-system windows that do not have the above property set,
the reason is that I use exwm, and want to above a child-frame to show info, is it possible?
thanks!

Certainly not in general. The z-order is determined by the top-level
windows alone, child windows can be reordered only within their parent
frame's window. So you have to (temporarily) unparent the child frame
and give it highest priority, for example, via a '(z-group . above)
parameter.
