It's nice, yes :)

OTOH, my desktop is usually quite cluttered so the backdrop tends to be 
burried...  plus, just abput everything I use regularly fits into a single 
panel now that I can shrink its size :)

It's pretty much a necessity for me since I like to keep some menus open & 
don't like keeping down the mouse button when navigating them, IYSWIM.

Sadly this actually makes things worse for me - the menus still disappear 
instantly unless the mouse button is held, and now I can't select anything in 
them even by keeping the button down :-/

OTOH, it does let me switch workspaces with the mouse wheel, so not a complete 
loss ;)

This is with ROX-Filer 1.3.8 & WindowMaker 0.80.1, BTW.
