Scrolling in Inactive Window

Hello everyone,
this may be of use to some of you & others may already have this bit of knowledge. Inactive windows in Leopard are scrollable. In other words say I am following along on a Photoshop tutorial in Safari & while I am working in PS I need to scroll down in the Safari window to see the rest of the tutorial. Simply move your cursor over the safari windows without making it active & scroll with the scroll wheel. This also works with all Apple apps & the Finder. The arrow keys do not work. Nice little touch & useful in some situations.

Yes, I also find this come in handy. But I'm not sure if this is the best place to post your hint, since most of the people who try to read and answer other's questions have probably figured everything out. But, still you should share your knowledge with the world on a Mac OS X hint site, for example [this one|http://www.macosxtips.co.uk> (they sometimes even pay you for submitting hints).
