It's HWND_TOPMOST and does get set by some gdk 2.0 functions. But 
if these are portable implementations or just half-baked emulations 
of X11 functionality, I simply don't know.
See gdk/win32/gdkwindow-win32.c (and s/win32/x11/). If there is a
gdk/x11 way to reliable set this window state, it would be quite 
simple to do it on win32.
