Another solution would be to add to 

    client.add_signal("manage", function (c, startup)
    ..
    end)

in rc.lua the following code:

    c.ontop = awful.client.floating.get(c)

    c:add_signal("property::floating", 
        function (c)
            c.ontop = awful.client.floating.get(c)
        end
    )

where the first line will set a client to ontop if it is floating when it is
started, while the second will keep the ontop property in sync with the
floating property if it changes.  I'm not sure if both of these are wanted.
