If I recall correctly the original "StarOffice" did this but was
somewhat slow. After Sun bought them out and broke it up into the
various parts of OpenOfficeOrg the desltop was discontinued. It may
still be available from Sun. Don't know for sure, just a suggestion.
FWIW: I always kind of liked it for just the reason you broached.
Good Luck!
