I would be happy if finder windows didn't lose their selections when
they get sent behind.  Many times I have waded through a long
list of files, selecting the "Interesting" ones to move somewhere, only to
discover that I had to open some folders to find "somewhere".  Clicking
in any other window, however, cancels my selection.  Ick; the files
ought to get "reselected" when the window comes back to the front, just like
selections in any other application.
