Comment 8 for bug 656519

About the bug of Unity 2d, I have already filed a bug (bug #766036, but
nobody is working on it).

The point is that "always on top" is very used by lots of users, and I think
that the solution is not to access the same menu via the keyboard. There
must be an easy alternative for new users. Another button in the title bar,
perhaps? Or something similar.
