  • Some people drag minimap buttons onto the bars.
  • Some people have temporary frames pop up at the top
  • Some people anchor frames to "TOP" of UIParent when testing
  • Probably more reasons.

To answer the original question, if you know the name of the frame you can do frame:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND") and it will stay in the background. (may need to do frame:SetToplevel(0) also but unlikely) Fubar 2.0 appears to have no xml and over 30 SetFrameStrata, so someone else can pick apart where to edit. But this macro:

/script local f=GetMouseFocus() if f then f:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND") end

Will zap frames to the background. (make sure you use it with the mouse over a blank part of the bar so it sets the bar and not a plugin's frameStrata)
