Render window always on top option

[dalomar_cg]

I was just thinking that it might be a useful option to be able to have the frame buffer always on top of other windows (similar to the Task Manager). It would be nice so I could always watch rendering progress while typing papers, reading the vray forum, or whatever else I do on the computer while things are rendering. Just a little check box at the top of the frame buffer, or even in the progress window would be good. Does seam useful to anyone else or am I just some kinda nuts?

I suppose that would be ok as an option. Without a way to turn that feature off it would probably get irritating.

Oh yea not on all the time (that would probably make me go crazy and freak out on whoever sits next to me) but just the option to have it on top or not (a checkbox or something). Some times its useful when doing tests of longer calcuations (like translucency or caustics) that I may want to kill as soon as i realized I screwed something up. Other times I could care less
