Yes, obscuring the depth order can be a problem but it can be solved by
assigning an appropriate morphicLayerNumber (browse the implementors to get
a feel for what "good values" are). Using those, you can have your cake and
eat it too - not obscuring z-order as well as being able to interact with
the objects in the back.

Cheers,
