Problem with "Always on Top" mode

Hello
When I activate the playback mode, the window where the video is playing is also on top of other windows own VLC (playlist, equalizer, etc.). How do I get the window where the video is playing just to be on top of the windows operating system and other software?

VLC 1.1.1
OS: win xp pro sp3

Have you separated GUI and video window?

The only change I made was to disable the built-in playlist. The others are the default settings.

I think this would require code changes.

Okay, I hope this will change soon. It makes little sense the way it is.

I think the player needs to always stay on top in relation to the windows system and other programs. For yourself, I see no sense in leaving the window where the video is being played on top of other windows.
