Yes, I think it should, and indeed I see I have put

gtk_window_set_keep_above  (GTK_WINDOW (pal->window), TRUE);

I created a patch that calls this function one line before this:
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk2/stable/GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-set-transient-for

I will see if it helps.

in src/ui/palettes.c

but, as the Gtk documentation says, window managers can ignore these
requests, which is what Apple is doing I guess. Looking at this, I see a
bug - if you change to Undock a palette it doesn't acquire the
keep_above property until you re-start Denemo. I guess I need another
call to that function on undocking ...
