stayontop is bad design for anything period. there was one single use 
case a couple of years back on installation applications that made sense 
which is no longer valid.

No it does not, delphi's 2007 menu designer never stays on top outside 
the application it self and never looses its position regardless of how 
many times you change between delphi and other applications.

No, pmauto will autoselect the applications main form as popupparent you 
need to set the formdesigner as the popupparrent for all the component 
designers (menu, stringgrid, collections etc). This way double clicking 
an event will hide the designers which will be back on top when you 
focus the form designer.

Yes and no depends heavily which is the main form and how it changes 
between versions.
