As it seems, you have never used X-Windows with the MWM Windowmanager. I you want, you can install such behaviour. The unability of GEM to work with other windows than the top one, or to top hidden windows is rather a drawback. Surely, nobody would claim that there is nothing that can be added to GEM :-) Finally, all that depends on your application. Nobody keeps you from adding such features. It might even be possible to add this into the system by writing a TSR that spits out appropriate WM_TOPPED Messages upon hitting the hot-key.
