*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 81551 ***
bug 81551 seems to talk about always on top of panels. what I tried to mean is that of windows, as 'place every workspace' is for windows.
Oh, this is discussed on several bugs in here probably, typically under "matched windows" in general I think it's an application issue.
<sarcasm> of course it's an "application issue" </sarcasm> read this too http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90012
This is a dup of the "matched windows" bug, which is probably closed, I can't find it in my open bug list. Anyway there is long discussion/rationale in here somewhere. I lobbied for a _NET_WM_WINDOW_STATE_FLOATING hint in the WM spec which will probably go in, then apps such as gkrellm/xmms can use that to implement this feature.
... then apps such as gkrellm/xmms can use that to implement this feature. if these apps ever give a shit to gnome and metacity. why dont you simply make metacity work normally again so we can use it normally ? its the EASIEST way doing the things right.
If you want a window manager just like Sawfish why don't you _use_ _sawfish_ which came with gnome 2? If you want a window manager that is finished why are you using an unreleased WM like metacity? I didn't ask you to use my free software I wrote because I wanted to in my free time.
