It is possible, but exactly how you do it is highly dependent on your  
window manager as the gtk ui has no built in support for it. For instance,  
in the default gnome window manager (metacity i think) holding down ALT  
while right clicking on any window will bring up the window menu, and from  
there you can select On Top.

However, [email protected] I think you said you were using xfce4, which says  
the following from their FAQ, so its probably not possible for you.

"6. Why are there no options to start an application without any window  
decoration, to "keep it on top" of other windows, or to make it disappear  
 from the taskbar ?

xfwm4 does not, and will never, include any mechanism to bypass what the  
application wants. The application should allow this by using standard  
hints for Window Managers. Moreover, by doing it in the application, it  
will work with all WM. Gkrellm2 is a good example of such implementation."
