How do I put windows (or other sprites) on a house? When I try to do that, the sprite disappear into the wall a little bit above the ground.

set the depth higher on the house or set it lower on the other sprites and that should help

But, young Padawan, be careful not to make it so that Dink walks "under" a door on a house (for example). Just keep changing the depth until you find the right amount.

Padawan? You make him sound like some kind of cheese stick.

Mmmm, pizza. 
I mostly keep the depth-dot of the house unchanged, but I write down the y-coordinate somewhere. You should set the depth-dot of the window/whatever to that number plus 1. So, if the house has an y of 274, the depth dot should be 274+1=275. This method never failed me

Oh, and padawan... hadn't that something to do with star wars?

Indeed it does. I don't even like "Star Wars" much, but Padawan is a cool word.
I guess I'd better clear this up, a Padawan is a Jedi's apprentice.
