There's a way around this, since it's the same method Facebook uses to keep their chat always on top. It involves the use of JavaScript and *should* be relatively easy to implement. Here's a document explaining the technique with examples in detail...

This doesn't necessary have to be implemented in the chat product either, it could be a separate product entirely. When I get home later tonight I'm going to play with my test install and see if I can get something working.
I'm also very excited for what you've done with this. I'll also be willing to make a donation once a solid product is created. It's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. If you need help with the styling of it let me know; I'd be more than happy to contribute there as well.
