I don't think that's the intention of the OP. As described in #434431, the
issue is that when a new window is created - and there is enough space on the
desktop otherwise - it the new window should not overlap an existing "keep
above" window at all.

This OP is probably complaining about a window remembering its position and
appearing regardless what it is overlapping with (though that was 18 years ago,
so who knows 🤷), which is probably better than any alternative, but with
Wayland that cannot happen anymore. OTOH, #434431 is complaining that when
setting the "Window placement" policy (System Settings -> Window Management ->
Window Behavior -> Advanced) to "Minimal Overlap", the policy apparently
ignores "keep above" windows when considering the placement of the new window.
Sometimes that makes sense - for example I use Yakuake and when open - I don't
mind windows appearing behind it (which is one reason I use a transparent
terminal theme), but in other cases - it can be done better.

Putting the apps on top of a keep above others window would be even more wrong.
