What happened to my idea for browsers to have a special window containing tabs for "background apps", which save screen real estate by just showing an icon and title (and a URL or domain?) and no actual tab content? You might modify the UI so that quitting the normal browser leaves this window open, possibly as a separate OS app. Seems to me that this would provide almost exactly the desired functionality but without introducing new security concerns and without requiring a trust decision. Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
