Could serve as a Deadalus bridge (if you subscribe to the smaller scale version of the ship, anyways).

You're assuming the job of XO is always combined with another one. I suppose that's one way to go, but it doesn't appeal to me.

remember Will Decker though -- after Spock came on board as sci officer, Decker , as exec, ended up wandering around coaching everybody, standing near whichever officer was performing a function ordered.

Very few bridges actually had room for an exec sitting around. Intrepids, Sovereigns and Galaxies have some extra seats, but all the redresses of the movie bridge lacked a comfy XO seat.

Mabye XO is best served coordinating the various departments, evaluating crew performance and actually managing the daily functions of the ship (as Riker did) when there was not an emergency or he/she did not have the bridge-watch to kjeep them occupied.
After all, the Captain's gotta have time set aside to mack on the ladies.
