Has anyone found a way to tell the window manager to always keep your
Performer window on top of all other windows on the desktop at all times?
If so, did you do this through WM_HINTS?

In the draw process, I can call XRaiseWindow(display, window)
continuously to keep my Performer window on top. However, it takes
anywhere from 1-3 seconds on an iR Onyx for my Performer window to
return to the top and it does not prevent other windows from covering it
briefly. Here's my code for this:

    Window window = pipe->getPWin(0)->getWSWindow();
    Display *display = pfGetCurWSConnection();
    XRaiseWindow(display, window);

What I'm looking for, is to request that my Performer window stay on top
once in the pfPipeWindow's configuration function. This would prevent
other windows from overlapping my Performer window at all times.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Frank
