(Both on OS X and Linux) That reminds me of another piece of shitware: xgnokii It opens a kind of dashboard and on every other action it places a new window as far as possible from the mouse. I use it because typing a text message from the keyboard is way faster than on my (very simple) phone, and pasting an error message is also much easier than typing it, but the xgnokii interface is horrible. > About the only ones that aren't are Finder windows on the Mac.
