Greetings Monks!

I found this code on how to make a toplevel always stay on top:

use strict;
use Tk;
use Tk::Balloon;
use Win32::API;

my $mw = new MainWindow;
use vars qw/$Button/;

$mw->Frame(-width=>200, height =>25);
$mw->update;
  Win32::API->new("user32","SetWindowPos",[qw(N N N N N N
N)],'N')->Call(hex($mw->frame()),-1,0,0,0,0,3);

$Button=$mw->Button(-text => "Button",
        -command => sub {
                &do_something;
            })
        ->pack();

my $balloon = $mw -> Balloon(-balloonposition => 'mouse',
-initwait => 10, -bg => 'white');
$balloon -> attach($Button, -balloonmsg => "Button");

MainLoop;

sub do_something {

    #sleep(10);
}

in this node, and it provided all that I needed to make my MainWindow always stay on top. However when I attach Balloon popups to the MainWindow they appear behind the MainWindow. Execute the code above for an example.

Anyone knows how to work around this?
