	I used to have WindowShade installed on my IIcx with a 19" display
but got rid of it.  It works just like it's advertised to, but I found that
without the incentive to close windows to unclutter my desktop, I kept
running into "can't create any more windows" type errors.  I agree,
however, that with a 9" screen, it's probably a very good way to manage the
limited real estate available.
