HELP: speedbar on top

[David Sumsky]

Hi,
does anybody know how to make emacs's speedbar to stay on top of all 
avaible frames/windows currently on the desktop?!?
(I'm using emacs and speedbar together, and problem is, when I select 
something from speedbar's list, emacs frame "steal"      focus and 
speedbar frame is then somwhere under it, so I would like to make it to 
stay on top forever :-)),

thanks.

Things like this are usually done via the window manager.  Sawfish
has `depth' for this and KDE has a `stay on top' option.

But you can turn on auto-raise for Emacs frames.  (For speedbar, it
woudl be via the variable speedbar-frame-parameters.)

Yes, I know, I'm using KDE as a desktop, but when I check "stay on top" 
for SPEEDBAR frame
and then save it for next session, both EMACS and SPEEDBAR frame (when I 
run it again) has "stay on top" checked.
It seems, there is no difference between these two frames/windows. It 
seems, they are both managed the same way :-)
