How about if I drag an item from the window to my edge of screen, the dolphin window should unmaximize automatically (or even minimize until I am done dragging) and allow me to drag the item on to exposed desktop by space hence created. This could be further extended to present me a possible list of options where this item is draggable like - Desktop, Other open applications etc. So, now I am browsing. And I decide to link this page on my desktop. I just click anywhere on an empty area and drag it to my right edge, The firefox window gets minimized/unmaximized and I am able to drop it on Desktop or hover over an open kopete conversation and drop it there.
