OK, I got one...

I want to click on a drag bar, on any window, in any screen.  Now that
I have the mouse button held down, I want to cycle through all my
screens.  Maybe use left-amiga-space or something, so I can do it with
one hand.  While I'm cycling through the screens, the window I'm
"dragging" stays on top of everything.  Finally, I find the screen I'm
interested in and let go of the mouse button.

The window I was holding (dragging) now gets an IDCMP NEWSCREEN
message, and the application can look at the ScreenData so it can
configure itself accordingly .. number of colors, etc.

Essentially I want to move any window to any screen.

Yeah, I KNOW how Intuition, custom screens, layers and the copper
work, and I know it would be a bitch.  But I still want it.

..Bob

PS Oh yeah, did I say it has to be backwards-compatible?  :-)
