84) How can I keep my application's window always on top of all
other applications' windows?
[Last modified: Sep 97]
Answer: Some window managers have features supporting this. Mwm does not.
The ICCCM does not specify a standard protocol for using the feature.
Note: some applications attempt to implement this periodically pop themselves
to the top of the stack (perhaps in response to visibility change events).
This is very poor practice and should be avoided. If more than one of a
user's applications try this, the user will get very upset.
