eh?  it's a binding for gtk_window_set_keep_above(), which was added in gtk+
2.4.0:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-set-keep-above

it uses window manager hints to achieve the keepaboveness, so it should work
for any X window, not just ones created by gtk2-perl.  you would have to use a
compatible window manager, however.


you might also consider set_type_hint:

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk/gdk-Windows.html#GdkWindowTypeHint
