By using IDL 8.1 command line and Windows 7, I can get:

after,
IDL> window, /FREE
IDL> window, /FREE
windows 33,IDL and 32 appear in this order (33 in front)
IDL> wshow, 32, 1 ;put window 32 in front (then IDL and 33)
IDL> wshow, 32, 0 ;put window 32 in rear
IDL> wshow, 33, 1 ;restore 33 in front
IDL> wshow, 32, /ICONIC ;iconify (ze ?) window 32
IDL> wshow, 32, 1 ;restore window 32
etc ...

what is broken ?
(note that I did not check the case of draw widget).
