Not if that involves overlapping windows, no. The whole point of classic was for those apps that people, for whatever reason, just _have_ to run that don't deal well with Matchbox, which fullscreens all non-dialog windows by default. Which is the behavior we want. If you're running a legacy application, you use Classic to do so. Those legacy applications do not fit into the Sugar framework. The problem with having something like Classic is that it's a crutch that developers can use to ignore optimizing their application for the OLPC laptop.
