I would think this would be acceptable only if you modified the concept
to be somewhat like Sun-windows -- that is, JUST moving the mouse
pointer into a window would not 'top' it, but it would be auto-topped
if you then DID anything -- hit a keyboard key, press a mouse button,
...   The auto-top would NOT eat the key or mouse press, but would top
the window and then pass the key or mouse-press through to it.
