Sometimes gala crashing after closing last window. gala --replace successfully launch gala after each crash.

Can you please provide backtrace? You can install coredumpctl (systemd-coredump package on Ubuntu, probably the same on Debian) launch gala, wait till it crashes and execute coredumpctl debug gala to get it please?

Not working alt+f2 when gala running.

Gala doesn't have this shortcut.

Is any way to pin window to top above others windows as in xfwm4?

Yes, just secondary click on the window titlebar and press "Always on top"

Conky crashing after run gala and not visible after conky restart. It configured as panel above xfce4-panel. It seems it not visible with any options.

You should probably ask somewhere else about this (you should also provide a backtrace similar to one from the 1st paragraph)

I'll close this since no further issue details were provided.
