Or even better, "wicon", which uses small windows lined up on the bottom
of your screen.  This way, you don't have to have the workbench up and
running, and the windows can be seen in front of other windows.  (or
not, it's up to you;  they can be backdrop or regular, with or without
front/back gadgets.)  I think it's a wonderful program.
