IIRC, there are actually 2 layers of the always-on-top property for windows
in Win32 -- one which is local to the application and one in which the
application itself is entirely above other applications. (I think one of
these is in the so-called "extended" property bits...sumpthin' like that.)
Anyway, what you saw -- was it a separate window which, upon realizing that
it wasn't the topmost window in its application-local chain, reasserted its
position on top? Or was the window truly on top of all other windows on the
desktop, including other applications?
In Linux/GNOME, BTW, the system menu allows the user to designate virtually
any open window as being top-most or bottom-most at any time, even after it's
launched. I've tried running the itty bitty looker-upper both ways (on top
and on bottom) and they both kinda annoyed me.
I'd love to know solutions for each of the System Tray (Win32), the Drag-strip
(MacOS), and the Panel (X11/GNOME)...!
