make window on top
 
hi
I am using debian-squeeze with GNOME .
Is there a commandline based utility to resize window & also 'stick it on top' ?
in windows xp , I had cmdow (http://www.commandline.co.uk/cmdow/) which gave me handle & option to hide , maximize , remain on top etc.

After a quick google i did come across this little crittler
-> http://tomas.styblo.name/wmctrl/

I does build and seem to work for me, although I haven't tried all the features.

i tried wmctrl
i am able to activate a window using
wmctrl -l
wmctrl -i -a <hexadecimal-ID>

i could not make it 'always on top'
I guess , it is related to 'sticky' but can't figure out how to do ?
