Hi.
I'm using Mint with Cinnamon. Is it possible to have my dock draw over my panel?
It would be OK, if all windows would draw over the panel.

I think you could try wmctrl: http://linux.die.net/man/1/wmctrl
xprop might also work, bit some users seemed to had problems with setting things like always on top & other WM stuff using it.

thanks for pointing me in a direction.
However, I'm a noob, and can't figure out how to force always on top with wmctrl or xorg.
Can you give me an example?

EDIT: wmctrl -r :SELECT: -b add,above
tried that, it doesn't work. no window wants to be drawn over the panel.
