New description:

 I have a template which is being used as my front page on WP 2.9.2. In
 this template I setup my loop with the following code:

 {{{
 $postresults = new WP_Query();
 $postresults->query("author_name=frontpage&post_types=post&post_status=publish");
 while($postresults->have_posts()) { $postresults->the_post(); ?>
 // etc...
 }}}

 I am not using the "caller_get_posts=1" option, but my sticky posts are
 still showing up in order with other posts rather than at the beginning.
 If I remove the "author_name=frontpage" the sticky posts will move back to
 the first items, however I am stuck with posts by authors I do not want.
 Using "author=2" results in the same behavior as using "author_name".
