Don't worry, I just want to play with the code :)

gksu does that (the current window has no border but it used to have
some, that's a basic code change):

"      status = gdk_pointer_grab ((GTK_WIDGET(dialog))->window, TRUE, 0,
NULL,
				 NULL, GDK_CURRENT_TIME);
...
      status = gdk_keyboard_grab ((GTK_WIDGET(dialog))->window,
				  FALSE, GDK_CURRENT_TIME);
...
  gtk_window_set_keep_above(GTK_WINDOW(dialog), TRUE);"

Let's try this way and see how we like it.

Let it this way for now too so we can clean a bit the code, make sure
the actions work and upload the changes next week. Then according to
feedback we can decide what to change next (if we want to change
something).
