I work on a Mac (lost of the time) with a transparent Terminal window 
on top of various others (including Mail and Safari windows). It is 
useful to be able to refer to documentation, keep an eye on mail, etc 
without switching windows, etc. I'm probably the exception though in 
this respect and I wouldn't want to try and get similar features 
working on my Linux box (as it is only a 1GHz processor and I don't 
trust the Via binary drivers enough to run them).
