I want to start a terminal window in "Always on top" mode, is there any way to do this?
I can use wmctrl to set the 'above' option but it's a command line utility itself so as this is running from a detached script I'd have to fire up yet another terminal window to run wmctrl to set the option.
I need a wmctrl that can run without a terminal!
UXTerm has an always on top setting if that helps
Yes, but if starting from a script can it be set? It appears uxterm is just a wrapper around xterm so, can one set "always on top" for an xterm when starting the xterm?
Yes I did retract that comment :) But my thinking now is to use configuration file to set XTerm to always be on top when its opened.
Something along the lines of XTerm*Always OnTop: true
But have run out of time to research exact syntax required as I got to leave now to work a 12 hour night.
