What was that last point?  "repainting a window is much, much faster"? "Fetching
files from a cache is fast"?  I don't know... one deals with graphics while the
other deals with memory... depends on the computer... 

I would agree with Tom, that when something is used properly, it's
acceptable!... 

Still depends on what you really want, Eficiency? Quality? Complexity? I
dunno... if were talking about efficiency, opening a window is slower than using
this one already open. If we talk about beauty, you can't see the window that is
hidden under this window... if you arrange something so you can see everthing
clearly, frames are perfect for this!  Etc!

That was my opinion.
