Linux:
- Test other combinations (especially for sendBehind()). Tested OK: Ubuntu/GNOME and Mint/Cinnamon

Windows:
- win32gui.GetMenu() not working in Windows 11 (?!?!?!?!): check github site and find/open issue
- isAlerting
      - Find a way to retrieve the size and position of the taskbar icons (now using pywinauto)
      - Find a way to retrieve the alerting color
      - Test the highlight color position with other resolutions (tested on 5120x1440)
- alwaysOnTop(): Now working with GDI, not with windows using DirectDraw exclusive mode
                 The solution seems to be hooking the d3d dll and force it to draw your own application as well
                 Is this possible with Python, or combining C++ and Python???
