Beautiful, thank you so much! :-) - so now it is implemented:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=778d80bc2c37e4549daff2cc1f74f8665235407b

[mostly by removing code ;-)]  Screenshots of LibreOffice master with
the changes:

I am not sure if we can do any improvements wrt. the 'scrolled' version;
fading the document to the workspace would probably be ideal, but not
yet sure if doable with reasonable effort...

I'm adding the UX advise list for comments from the UX point of view.

Thank you again,
Kendy
