Description ac 2015-09-19 00:38:00 CEST 
Calling GLWindow.setAlwaysOnTop() does not result in the GLWindow being on top of all other windows, as expected. This happens on Mac OS X (tested with 10.9.5). Works fine on Windows (10) and Ubuntu (12.04).

The following code demonstrates the issue:

commit 3d2765f0bb752debd7784f717eeac4c9eb500d5a:

- The NSWindow level must be set at window creation
    
- Levels are
  - aontop: kCGMaximumWindowLevel
  - aonbottom: kCGDesktopIconWindowLevel (w/ input)
  - normal: NSNormalWindowLevel
    
- Hence we need to recreate the NSWindow if toggling the state,
  similar to opaque .. etc.
