> xeyes& xprop -name xeyes -f _NET_WM_STATE 32a -set _NET_WM_STATE _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR

And this works perfectly... the problem is, as I wrote in the previous post, I cannot set the '_NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE' property, that is, I can set it, but it has no effect on the window...

Can anybody give me any hint on how to solve this?

Thanxxx

For this first I display the image:

> display image.jpg

Then I find the window id

> xwininfo -root -tree |grep image.jpg

If I set and unset the 'always on top' property manually (using the mouse) the only difference I can observe among the window properties is:

_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE
_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) =

But if try to set it by the command line as follows:

> xprop -id 0x3000011 -f _NET_WM_STATE 32a -set _NET_WM_STATE _NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE

And then I query the window properties

> xprop -id 0x3000011 |grep _NET_WM_STATE

I can actually observe the property was set

_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE

but the window doesn't stay 'always on top'.

Does anybody knows how to solve this?
Thank you so much!

Federico.
