One feature I would like to have is, if there is only one window on a
screen, that that window's "to front" & "to back" gadgets would act as
*screen* to front/back gadgets, rather than being useless.

I don't expect this to show up in the OS, because it "ruins" the
consistency of the user interface.

However, is there an easy way for me to patch this in?  Specifically,
when you press a window to front/back gadget, does Intuition itself call
the functions WindowToFront()/Back(), or does it just do the actions
"internally"?  In other words, would it do any good to SetFunction()
the WindowToFront()/Back() calls to my own code?  If it's this easy,
someone's probably already done it; but I don't remember seing anything...

I know, I could just try it and see if it worked, but I would like to
be assured of some success before wasting my time trying it.
