Description Blake Turner 2003-01-01 13:24:24 UTC
I'd like to see an always on top feature in meatacity, I find such a
feature aids in multitasking and general layout of the desktop.

Examples of how I'd use the feature:
-Leaving xmms on top so I can change songs and see whats currently playing
without having to maximise it first.
-Having the README/INSTALL files open over the top of nautilus and a
console when installing programs
-Being able to chat/browse/code/play majong whilst watching a movie or tv
-Having Reference programs/articles stay on top while working on a
document/program.

I assume there are other possible uses of this function given sawfish has a
similar feature and I've seen thrid party apps written to do it on windows.

Thanks
