(In Deskbar´s default placement its hardly
inaccessible, and even in other placements it´s
not impossible to send to back the covering
window.)
It would be better fix the real issue;
why it gets covered in the first place.

Not sure about this... I was discussing this at the IRC channel yesterday
and today, and what I took from the discussion and from my personal
preference is to include an option to set the default zoomed window position
not to cover the deskbar if the deskbar is at full size and in the same
monitor.
Someone (sorry, I can't remember who) referenced me to:
//www.freelists.org/post/haiku/Zooming-without-covering-Deskbar
The Deskbar could come to front for only as
long as the mouse pointer is hovering above it,
and then return to the previously active app.
That wouldn´t fix my beef with Deskbar auto-raise.
Granted, it would save me a click to restore focus
to Firefox, but the interruption would still happen
now-and-again until I turn auto-raise off or learn
not to fling the mouse at Deskbar unless I mean to
use it.
I think Deskbar should adhere to the default
policy of click-to-raise(-and-focus).
[Diego Perez]
Both things (the click-to-raise and the option to not cover when deskbar is
at full size) does not conflict between them, but perhaps it could make you
(and many others) feel comfortable with the behavior.
What do you think?
