  I just had a thought on this whole business about windows popping to the
front and obstructing another window that you want to get to.  The reason
why the windows get in the way is that the window gets brought to the front
on a mouse down.  Every application does this without fail.  However, if the
window doesn't get brought to the front until the mouse up occurs, all our
problems would be solved, right?
  Of course, this is so obvious and simple a solution that there's got to
be something wrong with it.  So what's wrong with it?  I dunno.  Any ideas?
