I am troubleshooting this GUI application running multiple windows, some of which are small and made explicitly to stay on top of the main window (which usually stays on the first display scree). The problem is, as soon as i take the cursor to the second display screen , the window (which is supposed to stay on top) hides , and i have to (ALT-TAB) to retrieve it.

This problem has nothing to do with GUI application, this rather has to do with window management, because when i open a terminal window on top of the main window , as soon as i take the cursor to the second display window, the terminal window hides.


I heard that Metacity has some fix to this ?
Is there a way to write a bash script to handle this issue, i just don't know how to start ?
