Well, the next release of MultiFinder (currently shipping in Beta form with
MPW 3.0, which requires this version for the source debugger) has a "Set Aside"
feature that allows you to hide some or all of the inactive layers' windows.
Icons that you leave on the DeskTop in the Finder layer are still visible,
though.  This is really a very nice feature and should provide the functionality
you desire.
