I think xmms is a bad example. From what I've seen only on this list, it's a very odd application to work with and a window manager's nightmare. :) Just a quick note.
pretty much, but we try ........
To answer the original post, we do want Always On Top (or bottom) to work and welcome test cases / apps where it fails.
xmms is hard because it asks to not be managed. But yet it wants us to help it along. Blackbox does not currently deal well with this. More work needs to be done.
Well I'd gladly donate my app for testing, but I'm not sure how exactly I should be requestion 'always on top' status from blackbox (or any wm for that matter). Based on what I saw from xmms it looks like I need to use the XLIB functions to send an atom to blackbox (the _NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE atom?) which tells blackbox via netwm to give the window always on top status? Is the correct. If anyone wants to know the app I'm writing is in GTK+ using C. The homepage for it is http://kicken.mine.nu:8008/projects/uaccess/ if you want to grab it any try it using blackbox CVS.
