Two things work well for me:

1)  Have a Current Work folder, and put currently interesting
    documents and templates in it.  It's easy then to either bring up
    an application from the finder layer, or select and Set Startup
    for all the things you want to work with together.

    We're rapidly converging on the Lisa, and some earlier Xerox
    methodologies here, I think.


2)  To get the Trash, or a lost disk, close everything in the finder
    layer by holding option as you mouse one window's close box.

    Then use Select All from the Edit Menu, followed by Open from the
    File menu.  Voila.


Do hope the oversight about Finder icons will be updated soon.  Sure
everyone agrees they need the Trash and disks to show.  A clear
example is the case where you want to trash a disk, and of course one
often wants to casually trash a file.
