David, what you suggest would be quite non-standard for a Windows application. I think it would be quite confusing for most Windows users. If you want a desktop that is bigger than your screen, several video card vendors (Matrox, for example) provide a "virtual desktop".

If they installed a scroll bar on the right for vertical scrolling and one on the bottom for horizontal scrolling the virtual screen size could expand greatly. When I used to use Trade-Cast Pro it worked kind of like how you described. If I were to push a chart of the screen, a scroll bar would appear on the appropriate axis and one could set it to where in effect you could flip between two or more pages in each direction. Much better than having to add on a software fix and tie up more resources. Then I switched th Gr8-Trade and it was done in such a way that every single item (chart,ticker,etc) is treated as if it were a separate little program. So on can have charts behind charts and just touch the button bar on the bottom of the screen to bring it forward. I think that RTIII has been given a real break with the new Soes rules (June 5, I think) in that their rudimentary order routing options will not be as much of an issue now that Snet will be all but worthless (except to those that still depend on it to access ecn's).
