Always On Top Option in CVS

[Keith Maika]

I try the CVS version of blackbox once in a while to see how it works 
and how it's changing.  I know that always on top has been implemented 
and works fine if you right-click the titlebar for a window and select 
it.  However, what about applications, such as xmms, that provide an 
'always on top' preference that you can toggle on/off to indicate that 
the app should be always on top from the instant you start it?  For xmms 
at least it doesn't appear that such an option works correctly.

As something that may be related it also looks as though a window can't 
be set to 'alway on top' if the window decorations are hidden.  For 
example, if you open xmms and in the Preferences->Options set 'Do not 
hide window manager decorations' to on, you can then right-click the 
title-bar and set the 'always on top' flag.  When you do that, it works 
great, xmms is always visible.  However if you later set the to off 
again and the decorations go away, xmms looses it's 'always on top' 
status and returns to normal.

My real question though is:  Is this a problem with blackbox, or xmms, 
or perhaps a combination of both?

Note that xmms is just an example of an application that does this.  My 
reason behind the inquery is that I have a GTK+ app and I would like to 
be able to set the 'Always on top' flag from the instance the program 
starts, and at the same time I want the window manager decorations to be 
hidden.
