Always on Top

[Odenthal, James P]

I have a dialog that must never be covered.
 
I used gtk_window_set_keep_above(), gtk_window_stick() to set "above" and "sticky".
Though set "above",  it can still obscured by another dialog spawned from same application window.
 
In FC4, Gnome 2.10, Metacity;  I used a visibility event to detect when visibilty changed.  I then called 
gtk_window_present() to force the covered dialog to top. This kept the sacred window un obscured.  
 
However in XFCE 4.2.2, wmxf4;  The visibility event is working; but the gtk_window_present() seems to have no effect. The window that I need always on top remains under the other dialog.
 
My customer will not tolerate her window covered.  Any suggestions?
 
Thanks 
Jim Odenthal
