I saw a demo of a drag-and-drop idea I've been lusting after ever since.

If you pick something up to drag-and-drop it, then move diagonally over the 
corner of a window, it peels the window down like you're curling down the 
page of a book so you can see what's behind it and drop your thing there. 
You could do drag-and-drop between multiple full-screen windows that way.

One of the great advantages of having two screens, too.

Even the add-ons I've found don't work for this, sadly.

I find that very handy.  Click to open the window, it's the wrong one, click 
again to fold it back up.  It helps when you have a bunch of windows all 
with the same title big enough you can't read the text that distinguishes them.
