On cascading windows

Why not cascade windows diagonally from top right to bottom left. This would
leave the top left corner exposed, even if the windows were different sizes.
There would always be a visible tag to click on, and this tag would contain
the icon indicating the content of the window. Cascading from top left to
bottom right, as is now done, can cover up windows, unless they are the same
size, whereupon the lower left and upper right corners will be exposed as
tabs; however because the windows are hardly ever the same size, this can
bury some windows when others are brought forward. The goal of cascading
should be to always have one corner exposed as a tab no matter how the layers
are arranged in depth. Perhaps the user could choose the cascading style and
whether or not the windows would be resised. Keep up the good work.
