    It is a little confusing at first.  A desktop with no highlighted
windows looks very odd (like there should be an active window of dialog
in front some place).

    Hmmm.., well I'm still not convinced this is the "better way". 
What's wrong with using the eject button on the drive?  I can understand
the Mac Finder needing this feature because the internal drive doesn't
have an eject button.  Not so on the GS.  I'd like to see this behaviour
governed by a preference setting similar to that which controls default
folder icon colour, etc.

    How about *opening* icons?  I think Finder 6.01 now deselects icons
you just opened.  This makes no sense to me either.  Why does this
happen?
