There was bug reports about StayOnTop forms before that they must not 
stay on top if another application is active. That was implemented in 
the win32 widgetset. Now you complain because of that :) Who is right? 
Delphi 7 at least behave the same - it hides StayOnTop forms when 
application deactivates.

Maybe we need to rewrite that this piece of code and more generic 
solution that can satisfy both camps needs to be found. I will try to 
look at this problem soon.
