Sadly that comment is taken directly from the source for
FindWindowAtPoint which will suffer from the same problem. I
agree that unless the list is strictly ordered by z-order it
should be doing a string top-down z-order search.

I'm not sure how to do that off the top of my head - I
presume by getting GTK to enumerate window order or
something.

Anyway, it will be no more broken than it was!
