Thanks for the comprehensive list of links. I ought to mention, however, that
third-party solutions are often prone to breakage between releases of the
O/S upon which they are built. They also they need to be (re-)installed
repeatedly, they sometimes integrate badly, and people will not know about
them or bother with them unless everything is already there (the Microsoft
approach for killing Netscape).
Examples: that toyish idea of Widgets in Mac OS X (Opera, Vista have that
too)... became popular when it was free and integrated with the core. Also
think of virtual desktops in Windows. How many people do you know who
actually realise that minimise/restore can be made deprecated.

It beats the purpose. That is the approach one guy, who once advertised
(posted) some tutorials to COLA, is taking:

It's Dennis, by the way.
Best wishes,
