Yes and no. It is a GTK problem which (to the best of my
knowledge and most certainly not in its incarncation
wxWidgets) does not offer a stay-on-top policy
per-application. Dialogs seemt to be either ALWAYS-ON-TOP
(apparently on everything GTK if combined with MODAL) or not
stay-on-top'able at all.
