The fact that anything ever can is a design defect, which makes landing
there absolutely wrong in every case, regardless of the fact that
landing there is common and normal.

As far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter whether OS/2 or windoze or
Linux or anything else. If the desktop has a toolbar on any edge of the
screen which is set to always on top (which should mean it preempts that
space under all circumstances), then it is a design defect somewhere
that allows anything to obscure the object that is supposed to remain
always on top. *No* object should be permitted to occupy space not
available to a maximized window.
