I disagree - under the present system, the panel, dock etc. are either above
or below "normal" windows, so maximised windows will either cover or be
covered by the panel. My proposal is not intended to replace layers, but to
allow various applications to define areas of the screen which should not be
covered by a maximised window. I think WindowMaker has an option for this,
called something like "maximised windows should not cover dock or clip".
