I have used a version of multifinder which places the list of open applications
before the desk accessories.  The other enhancement this multifinder had was
that the last entry of the applications part of the apple menu was 
  set aside 'application'
when selected it caused the application to be de-activated and all the windows
to be removed from the display.  This could be done for all applications 
including the finder.  When this was done to an application, the entry for
that application in the apple menu becomes grayed out and it is no longer 
part of the circle of applications that multifinder switches between when the
multifinder icon is clicked.  Choosing the grayed application entry in the
apple menu causes the application to be re-activated and all windows to be
re-displayed.

I found this multifinder varient to be much more usable.
