Just out of curiosity, why would you WANT to disable this? The dimming
of the window is a good visual indicator that the system has
increasingly limited resources or some app is stuck doing something
heavy (be it an app moving large amounts of data around on a disk or
network, or a FF extension gone nuts).

In any case, the dimming itself doesn't cause the problem, the problem
is caused by the app....

Like I said, just curios.  I'd much rather prefer the dimming windows
as a very obvious visual indicator than just NOT have a window dim,
appear to be running, and yet be completely unresponsive.
