Yes it is.  Go into Utilities/Setup -> Setup -> Appearance  Set the Gui 
width and height to the window size you want.  Tick 'Use window border', 
and probably 'Use GUI size for TV playback'.  I've always used the fixed 
window size option.  One other thing to note, the Monitor aspect ratio 
option still refers to the whole monitor, and not to the aspect ratio of 
your window (took me a while to track that one down).

As for keeping it on top, that's something that I think would have to be 
handled by your window manager. (in XFCE, you can right-click on the 
title bar, and select 'Always on Top')

thanks,
Alex
