use gkrellm2 -- it has a config option to start sticky.

copy /etc/xfce4/xinitrc to .xfce4/ (or edit in place for a system wide change)
chmod +x it
edit it and comment out the line that has 'xftaskbar4'.
you may want to uncomment the line that says 'xfce4-iconbox' otherwise your
windows will just disappear when you minimize them.
