Or, if Apple really feels like inhibiting abuse, they could make it
an option that has to be explicitly turned on for each application,
just like Accessibility is. They could even bring up a dialog saying:
"This app wants to cripple your use of Expose. Do you really want
that?".
I do not agree with this, an application can choose to not quit when
login out, an application can set itself as open when login in, an
application can decide to not show its icon in the Dock, and I'm sure
there are other behaviors Apple lets the developpers handling their own
way.
I think a simple flag on the window is acceptable.
As developers, we see that when a user is not comfortable with a
behavior, we get a lot of mail requesting a change. Why would we
continue making things users disagree with ?
At least, if this is not Apple's point of view, windows having
kCGDesktopWindowLevel should not be concerned by Exposi. But again,
GeekTool can also make windows transparent and NSStatusWindowLevel
(which is on top of everything) and perhaps users wants them to be
untouched, here the problem is more complex, because some users would
like them to go away with exposi, but this has to be coded by the
developer, not imposed by Apple.
Best regards
