Hi Larry,
Yeah, I know of this func. gtk_window_set_keep_above(). But this will make the
window stay 'Always on Top', which will get annoying, as this is not a
conscious decision by the user. The GTK+ API doc. warns us of this as "Note
that, according to the Extended Window
Manager Hintsspecification, the above state is mainly meant
for user preferences and should not be used by applications". Is there a way to
achieve it without setting the window's 'Always on Top' property?
