With the current setup this may not be too hard.  Just turn them all into
bobs like when they're being dragged around.  This would probably be a 
Bad Thing though, because they would be able to get in front of things in
a much more annoying way.

They are already in their own window.  It just happens to be a BACKDROP
window with no resize gadgets.  Has anyone tried hacking the workbench
window into being non-backdrop and  resizable with front/back gadgets?
This should be doable by bit twiddling in the executable.

This would be nice.  Like mentioned by someone else, this would also make 
it easy to cut-n-paste text as a new way to repeat commands.
