Summary: "on top" shortcut or command

Initial Comment:
Is there a keyboard shortcut or command to toggle window "on top"?  If not, I'd like to make it a feature request.

I think I found a way to toggle "on top" state (see the attached script
below).  Simply assign a shortcut to the script and restart icewm.  "xprop"
is required and it's in xorg-utils package (for archlinux).  "yad" can be
replaced by other dialog program such as zenity or xdialog or just remove
it.

> xprop won't show GNOME window layer
it does, check the _NET_WM_STATE atom

Thanks.  At least now I can assign different shortcuts for toggling "on
top" state.  I agree that it would be nice to tell the layer state somehow.

OK:
"icesh -window focus setLayer 6"
will do half of it.
"icesh -window focus setLayer 4" will switch back to Normal layer;
but that isn't a toggle.
xprop won't show GNOME window layer, so how do we do this?
I'd like to request a way to show layer.

Sounds like icesh. It's a CLI utility to change stuff like layer, etc.  
Try running it with no arguments for more info; it is rather hard to
understand.
I believe it requires the WM_CLASS; a script could grap that with xprop, I
think.
Then you'd need to configure 'keys' to bind a shortcut.
Doable, but NOT easy...
I'll see when I have a chance.

And the key sequence with no tweaks is:
Alt-space; L (underlined char in Layer); T
Probably not helpful.
