Hi!

fsStayOnTop and fsSytemStayOnTop work as exspected.

But is there a solution that a Form stays on all virtual Desktops
of a Linux Window Manager like KDE, gnome etc. ????

I know that it can be done; at least most window managers have an
option for that in any program's "system" menu. What I don't know is
how it could be done programatically, though it probably involves some
DBus message or something like that.

Thanx for the answer, lucamar

I've searched my known sources but did not find anything.

But now I know something useless:

How to prohibit that the user of your app does not change this virtual
screen.
Very simple:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
screen.MoveFormToZFront(self);  
My hope was that the app would appear on the virt screen I just
changed to.
But - buff - I was sent back to the virt screen I came from. 
Must have a deeper look.

If that does not help I will have  a look to the KDE interface.
