The min-vid extension wants to place a chromeless top-level window on the screen which stays on top. There is currently no way to do this for top-level windows, we only support it for XUL panels (with level="floating"). Neil, what should be the API for this? An attribute on the root element? E.g. alwaysontop="true"

(In reply to Markus Stange [:mstange] from comment #0) > There is currently no way to do this for top-level windows, we only support it for XUL panels (with level="floating"). level="top" makes it always on top, not level="floating". Did the 'popup' flag to window.open not work? If not, maybe we could make it work. Having an attribute on the window might imply that one could change the state at any time.
