Identical to the (indirect) use I have for the toolbar. I always browse 
the web or read e-mail in fullscreen, and require the desktop menu at 
random times during working with current fullscreen applications. With 
full maximization off, you have a space each side of the toolbar when 
windows are maximized, which is ideal for popping up a menu (yes, I use 
bbkeys (like Eric said) but I prefer not to have the desktop menu bound 
to a key combo). 
I also think the toolbar is practical. The minimalistic clock is no 
more and no less than required (so why fire up some beefy dockapp to 
tell the time). However, I am not against the SLIT at all. I use it on 
my desktop (be it only for one or two dockapps) and think it, and the 
toolbar should stay put. 

Just realised that this is practically an echo of the post above but I 
guess I'm not the only crazy person who has indirect uses for the 
toolbar :)
