Nice trick, thank you again.

But notice that in many other applications you can drag and
drop from one window to another, regardless of their being
maximized or not. Dragging and dropping over the target
application tag in the task bar works fine, provided you
don't release your selection until the target window comes
to the foreground. It seems that TB! can't do that.
