allays on top

By any chance is there something like DeskPins for Ubuntu?

Description:
DeskPins can be used to make any application topmost, that is, to keep it above all other windows. Just grab a pin from the DeskPins icon in the system notification area (a.k.a. taskbar tray) and click on any window. This functionality is identical to the "Always on Top" setting found in some programs. With DeskPins you can add this feature to any program!

This is the job of your window manager. Ubuntu uses gnome and gnome uses the metacity windowmanager. Unfortunately metacity is a seriously crippled wm. However, I do seem to recall that you can use a program called devilspie to add some extra functionality. Have a look for it in your package manager.
