This is an ongoing theme of Raymond Chen's blog. He posts something (anything) about Windows, no matter how informative or unbiased, and there are at least a hundred comments describing how stupid Microsoft is.
In an enterprise setting, this would be fairly trivial to do, either through group policies (do not allow sidebar modifications), or sheer workarounds. He said there is not a supported way, not that it was impossible.
Also, Raymond has posted similar topics to this before. Such as: why can't you make a topmost window over other topmost windows? A: It then becomes an arms race, and then everybody wants a top-topmost window.
I would not expect this sort of inane behavior out of an API. A window is either forced to the top via API (or a gadget is at the top of a sidebar), or it's not. I don't expect special treatment.
