Better yet, could you post it? I'm sure that everyone would love to
use it. That would be great to be able to set aside all other layers so you
can put things in the trash without moving dozens of windows.
It would also be nice to be able to flag a particular application to
automatically put aside other layers when selected. This would be a good
feature for applications that put icons on the desktop (outside windows),
such as Finder.
