Sure, there's no intrinsic support, but there are a few apps that can
do it.  The only one that's actually worth using as far as I can tell
is actually an inputmanager more or less that operates at the cocoa
level to make it work, it's called afloat and can be found here
http://infinite-labs.net/afloat/.  Anyway, since I know X11.app
doesn't, and can't, use cocoa, I was wondering if it ever would
support doing such things in quartz-wm.
