hi,
Your toolbar works very well for me, I'll be putting that up as soon as I
have a chance.

Lets get the window manager debate out in the open, as I think there's a lot
of half-finished work on that about.
I had some ideas regarding z-indexing, which should also be handled by
window-manager:

* We could add a property to the dynLayer (or windowmanager) , so any
dynlayer can call :

var plane='backgroundLevel'     //or firstLevel,or mySkinWindowContentLevel
thisLayer.mustFocus(plane,'onmouseover')

So layers activated by mustFocus(), on the same "plane" can be re-z-indexed
when clicked, or moused over depending on argument passed.

BTW the widget dev mailinglist also works, if people prefer we could move
this over there.

Cheers,
Richard  :o
