z-index only applies to positioned elements. I'm assuming you have
used positioning for some other elements on the gmail page since
simply floating span.ct works for me. You might try this:

  span.ct {
    float: right;
    position: relative; /* this will allow z-index to work */
    z-index: 10
  }
