       I was wondering if anybody knows of a program (CDEV, INIT, patch
   or whatever) that will do the following.  When I switch from an 
   application to the finder it will bring the desktop as the top window 
   so I can open other applications and disks without having to manually
   close or rearrange the previously opened windows.

Why don't you just quit putting your icons on the DeskTop? If you keep
them in a window, they come to the front. The only catch now is the
disk icons. I wish I could place them into a window. I also wish the
Finder would "conceptually" make the desktop a window.
