	What I would like to see is an option (perhaps in the control
panel?) which make the active window the one which the mouse is currently
in, instead of the last one you clicked on.  To keep the system from
thrashing trying to shuffle windows when you sweep the mouse across the
screen, this probably means not requiring that the active window be the top
one.  I guess what I mean is emulating the standard suntools behavior
(yeah, I can see it now, Sun sues Apple for look-and-feel violations!)

	On the other hand, I can easily see how accomdating everybodies
favorite feature will quickly make for megabyte systems, with megabyte
finders on top of that.  Pretty soon we'll need 4 Meg just to boot the damn
thing.
