Window "born" Sticky (man, what a title)
Taking advantage of the subject.
Does anyone know if it is possible for you to launch a window and it's already a sticky one?
Or if an application, let's say emesene, could launch it's chat window with a sticky flag?
If this functionality exists (and I believe so) it depends exclusively on the developer or can it be controlled by other means?

Sitcky Windows on All/Chosen Virtual Desktops
Here is an example if you are running Ubuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=844385
The help in this thread should apply regardless of what distro you are using if you have Compiz.

Thanks
Thanks a lot for that Ubuntu example, the second post is a must :D.
I don't use either Ubuntu or Compiz. But devilspie does the job, and it's simple and lightweight.
