When I have the About the Finder box up, to check memory usage etc., I
often find myself double-clicking on an application icon in this box, and
realizing that this does nothing. This has happened so often that I'm
convinced this should be a feature - surely it would be very simple to
implement. You could then keep About the Finder on the screen at all times,
and use it as a sort of application dock (in the style of NeXT).
