Nice picture but alas iRex haven't given us the ability to move applications front/back on the screen.

You could pop something like gaim up, you could even give it a key to push it backwards, but then the PDF viewer or Mobipocket viewer has no key to push itself backwards to allow gaim to come forwards.

And even if you did hack the visibility? contentLister has an iron fist over the IPC channels for the Tool and Page bars and no API I've found for letting it keep up with visibility changes.

I played with all this for x48, I wanted to make it truly a pop up calculator that could be popped back away. I had a Matchbox wrapper for it so I could pop it up and down from the Toolbar but alas iRex didn't play well with it.
