I have a solution that works for me (TM) for the pager being always on
top. I have the Pager "swallowed" by FvwmButtons with some dockapps.
Then I define the FvwmButtons to have a title bar. Then I use the "Style
NoButtons" directives to nuke all buttons _except_ the "WindowShade"
button. This way my page is on the right hand side of the screen and I
can shade it anytime I want when I need to see the app underneath and
unshade otherwise.
As a note, I previously had it window-shading automatically by focus
(i.e. if I left the pager, it would lose focus and shade immediately and
vice versa). But this became annoying and less useful when I wanted the
pager to be ontop of certain apps at times. Hence the manual shade approach.
