Fullscreen mode was really meant for editing, but of course you can configure your window manager to keep the window on top. If your WM doesn't allow this kind of configuration, I would suggest you use one that does.

The common answer to this is "this is a window manager issue". We don't actually decide where windows get placed on the screen, or how, aside from doing things "properly" with respect to WM hints and session properties.

So you should check with your window manager to see if there is a way to indicate that a particular window will always stay on top.

That said, I can't find such an option on mine...

Cheers, Dave.

I suggest to use Sawfish since it has very good support for applying individual rules based on sophisticated window matching. And it even has a user interface for this. I never had to edit any config files manually.

Thanks for the responses, its given me the hint needed. For those with gnome 2.4 and metacity, this may be handy:
