For others with this type of problem, I highly recommend an init called
"scrolly".  Easily set up, it allows you to treat each window as a "roll-up
shade" so that by pressing Command and clicking on the windows title bar, the
window "rolls up" or "rolls down", allowing you to access the desktop.  I often
keep several small windows rolled up ready for instant access should I need
them.  An added benefit - if all those overlapping windows are rolled up,
screen redraws are a lot faster.

Shareware and available from most good bbs file areas.  Not related to me, but
I am glad they/she/he wrote it.
