>From the devel man page:

AvoidCover | AllowCover
Specifies that other windows should not be allowed to cover the app 
window.  Prevents other windows from moving in front of (or behind) the 
app window.  If SmartPlacement is specified in the feel file, windows 
will not be allowed to automatically place themselves over the app 
window, if possible.  AllowCover turns off AvoidCover.  The default is  
AllowCover.

... perhaps this is what you're looking for?  Wharf and Pager are set to 
AvoidCover in the default configuration of the devel version of AfterStep.
