A few thoughts:

(1) Is it possible to implement an "Always on top" function in the
right-mouse-button menu of windows (the "Minimize, Maximize,..." windows)?

(2) IMHO, programs which use session management should reappear on the same
desktop in which they appeared before logging out (and be sticky - on all
desktops - if they were), and remember if they were "always on top" or not.

(3) In MacOS mode (titlebar on top) -
(a) "Classic focus follows mouse" should behave like "Focus follows mouse"
(at least in the aspect of not changing the menu above when the mouse
traveles above the background, and both of these should wait for a short
timeout before switching focus (moving above a window which consumes the
entire background to get to the menu is impossible)).
(b) Just like the K-Menu appears on left on the menu, the task manager
should appear its right, as a pull-down menu, like in MacOS 7 (also 8?).
(c) maybe the "K" on the little K-menu on the titlebar could change into the
icon of the application the menu of which is displayed right now.
(d) In the background menu (the desktop menu), When clicking on some menus
and releasing the mouse button, and then moving the mouse onto another menu
(clicking on help and moving to desk or windows, for example), the menu
changes which is inconsistant with normal applications-menus. In addition,
when clicking on some menus and releasing the mouse buttone, and then moving
onto other menus (like from help to file), this does not happen - an
internal inconsistancy.
