Is it possible to set some application window to be always below others in Gnome(Metacity),even if you click on it?

Firstly, please use an appropriate title for your thread that describes the situation -- in this case, perhaps something like "Always-below in Metacity"
And as to your question, I don't use Metacity, but I found this thread by Googling, with some suggestions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=55838
Switching to Openbox from Metacity (and keeping GNOME, if you want) is a good idea.

GNOME/Openbox is a powerful combination. I remember discovering openbox while still using gnome under Ubuntu and couldn't use metacity after that...

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

Yes, but I can't without composite manager, xcompmgr and gnome is awful combination.

Then why don't you use GNOME/Compiz?

My ati x1250 with open drivers don't allow me that. Performance are poor.

Looks like your only solutions then are:
1.) Give up on always-below setting.
2.) Ask Metacity devs to implement it (they likely won't).
3.) Ask someone else to make a patch to implement it (maybe not too hard?).
4.) Give up on composited window management and go for Openbox. Fast and light has an appeal of its own

It seems i will definitely leave gnome and back to openbox(plus xcompmgr).
