As this is already implemented when you start to build the project (the 
Messages view is raised), I'm sure it is possible to do what you want 
altough differently. Try to simply request showing of the variables 
window, KMDI might show it to you. Of course the sticky/overlap setting 
will depend on the user's settings and I would not like to change it. 
If the user doesn't want sticky windows, the software should not force 
them.
