Given the slowness of screen draws on the GS, why does it draw windows for
each subdirectory as it backs out of the path for the last application run
(e.g., draw skill.games window, then games window, then HD20 window) then
redraw (or bring to front) the lowest subdirectory from which the last
application was run (leaving intermediate directories behind the root).
The Mac appears to draw from root down, only, saving window draws and 
leaving the desktop in a logical order.  Why doesn't the GS do this, especially
since it doesn't have the speed to spare for wasted draws?
