Dulling out and flattening widgets in the app would be pretty neat, but you probably wouldn't want to dull out the entire contents of the window. A similar idea came up at the gnome summit (I wonder if there are any notes from that discussion floating around). The idea was to show out-of-focus windows in grayscale. However, mucking with the contents of a document-centric window where color matters (gimp windows for example) is probably not a good idea. But 'dulling' widgets in an application would probably work pretty well. --Mark.
