I think the "Keep on top" step is unnecessary for this to happen. My daily workflow involves:
- irssi in a terminal window on a second monitor, snapped to the left.
- ssh into a virtual machine on my main laptop screen, maximised
- Firefox on my main laptop screen, maximised
I frequently alt-tab between the SSH session and Firefox and back and start typing code or build commands into irssi. Unity just doesn't seem to remember which of the terminal windows I used last.
