	I don't really think it makes any difference if you have
	one or two depth gadgets.

	Consider the case where you have three windows, 1, 2, and 3.
	1 is on top, 2 is behind 1, and 3 behind 2.  2 is as big as
	the screen is, 1 and 3 are the same, but smaller than 2.

	Suppose you want to bring 3 to the front and that the windows
	have only one depth gadget.  You click on 2, which brings it
	to the front,  you click on 2 again to send it to the back,
	and then you click on window 3 to bring it to the front.

	If you had two gadgets;  you click on 2's back gadget, and
	then on 3's front gadget and voila!!

	You see, it's really a matter of taste and the conditions
	which you get into.

	A good idea would be to have a flag, lets say in Preferences,
	that selects which type of gadget you want to use in your
	windows.

	BTW, what about the front/back gadgets in screens?????
