If I understand the whole thread, it's about another way 
to select any layer, not only one that has highest z-order 
and non-zero alpha at a specific location (pointer).

[Anyway, this made me think about showing layers as tabs on 
the image window or doing Apple Expose style thumbnailing 
or the variation of it in MS Vista.]
