We use only 2 desktops: desktop 1 is the normal desktop, and should be always selected desktop 2 is the desktop used for hidding windows that should not appear
Icewm supports 7 layers. We use only 3 layers for windows: OnTop, Normal, Below. If 2 windows are on the same layer, then the last activeted one is over the other.
