I like to know if it's possible to build floating windows, because I'm building a node desktop environment. Any help is welcome.

yes, but you'll need to add some additional functions to the native binding library in https://github.com/mixu/nwm/tree/master/src/nwm to expose these x11/xlib functions: http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/window/stacking-order.html on the Node side

right now nwm doesn't really handle floating windows specially - after all it's a tiling wm
