Is there a video player that has the option to stay always on the top ?

[Thomas]

Yes, totem has it but xine not (or I didn't find it).
Fullscreen xine works fine but not in window mode. 
But my favorite player is at the moment mplayer.
kbiff has the starts iconfied  in the systray - gbiff not ??
It's all confusing but maybe I've to wait to give freedesktop a chance to become
standard for developers. Then there must be put more pressure on the developers of
xine and mplayer (and many more) to implement these window control 
function in their software and follow the standard.
Btw - is the system tray behaviour/iconfy clean defined on freedesktop ?
Running two panels the behaviour is not clear. Kbiff trays (remains) to the xfce panel
and other to kicker - very strange.
And ofcourse I miss the skip taskbar/show in window list option for applications
because I want that some apps has not to appear in my taskbar !
If all window control/behaviour should become freedesktop standard then
there must be more apps to follow this. At the moment there are only a few and
their behaviour is not clear and the main point some functions are still missing as I described.
That is not a status I can live with. I'm really thinking about switching back to xfce3 but maybe
I must be more patient with xfce4 and the other developers.
On the other hand I've the fear that some window control functions will never be implemented.
So this is my user's point of view.
