Something that always bugged me still isn't fixed in snow leopard, the absence of "always on top" in quicktime. In earlier versions of Mac OS X you can just install Afloat (which uses plugsuit), but plugsuit isn't supported (yet) in Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), so here is a workaround:
•Install Afloat (this also installs plugsuit), don't authorize plugsuit, cause plugsuit doesn't work in snow leopard, and remove it (only plugsuit, not Afloat!) using the Afloat installer.
•Install SIMBL-0.9.5b or newer. (SIMBL replaces plugsuit).
•Log out and back in or reboot could be nescesary
Now you have "keep afloat" (= always on top), and other options in the windows pane in most of your apps.
Just to be clear: in leopard you don't need the workaround, you can just install Afloat.
Hope you enjoy the tip,

great tips but no need to log out or reboot. I just had to restart the apps to get the Afloat functions.
