	Not everyone runs full-screen windows... The largest window I currently
have open is the bloody browser (mainly because way too many web sites seem
to assume a minimum witdth of 1280+ pixels). My email and Usenet clients
are all just over 1/4 of screen estate (a 1920x1200 -- yes, 10x16, not 9x16
-- 24" monitor). That lets me see my 7 desktop icons and the "fuel
gauge/tachometer" (memory/CPU) usage display.

	I still miss the Amiga -- in which one could /push/ a window to the
back of the stack while still retaining input focus! Made it nice for
transcribing stuff from a visible window to a text input region while it
was obscured.
