OK. This is not currently supported, but we could certainly add a startup property to DesktopApplicationContext that would delegate to AWT's Window#setAlwaysOnTop() method: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Window.html#setAlwaysOnTop(boolean) >>>Ah, one last thing: >>>I've seen that in many test/samples when i minimize an internal frame, >>>it disappears ... is it right ? >> >> Yes.

It's not so much that it is complex, but that there isn't currently a strong use case for it. However, there may be more justification for adding it in Pivot 2.0, 3.0, or later...
