Lisa - part of what you want might come from outside MLO. I use Windows 7 and it allows me to dock a Window to the top/bottom/left/right. Apparently DisplayFusion (free and $$$ versions): http://www.binaryfortress.com/displayfusion/ does even more.
Also the same tricks I outline earlier work on a laptop you just have less space to work with. Example: When I'm at coffee shop MLO gets the left 1/3 of my screen and the other app (oft times the browser) gets the other two thirds. The arrangement also varies when I'm writing an article, news item. blog post. MLO goes away. The thing I'm writing about goes on the left monitor/side of the screen. The editor goes on the right monitor/side of the screen. BTW personally I dislike always on top mode for applications, at worst an app is just one click away on the task bar - but that's just me.
