	The question I originally had was for desk accessories such
as the Apple Macintosh's clock accessory.  This happily can sit on top
of your window, and screw up your raster map.  I guess GEM just said
"no way" to this type of background accessory, so we don't have to worry.

	As far as scrolling inactive windows, the overlapping windows will
screw up your scroll.  Why not make the window active, scroll it, and then
make the original active?  Also, if nothing overlaps it, you might be
able to scroll it anyway (I forgot how copy raster was called, so I can't
guarantee it)
