 Sorry, I know I'm a bit late, but I don't think this definition of 
STAY^H^H^H^HFLOATING is very good. It IMHO shouldn't just say 'above windows 
of the same type'. What if I e.g. want to have a normal window above (part 
of) dock window? With the current definition, I most probably just don't have 
any chance to do it. What would be the problem with using something like I 
suggested here

 Havoc: Yes, sorry. Any special reason why the list doesn't change Reply-To: 
to point to the ML?
