neat idea!

i'm not sure it would work, but i'm not sure it wouldn't either. 

(btw, i once tried making it appear by default whenever there were no windows 
showing; that didn't work as well as i expected :/ )

i'd say "go for it" and let's see how it works in practice. we have lots of 
time between now and 4.10 to know if it is plausible or not.

the issues raised in this thread are probably resolvable (not active when 
there are fullscreen windows; if there's a top panel, don't bother, etc), 
it'll probably just come down to whether it "feels" natural enough after some 
time and whether it is useful enough to have it on by default or not.

i look forward to trying it out .. :)
