This is quite surely an XFree bug, an app (should ;-)) not have the permission 
to mess with the global palette, byte order or whatever.

I had problems with it when I write the code. Stay on top only worked when I 
use KWin::setState(winId(), NET::StaysOnTop) AND setWFlags(WStyle_StaysOnTop 
(don't ask me why). I just moved the call to a different location, please 
check out again and see of this fixes it (mainwindow.cpp if you want to play 
with it).
