actually it doesn't ... consider that the user wants to switch
desktops to do something ... or what if the user wants to raise the window
after putting an xterm on top of it ... if any app is not managed by the
WM .. I won't run it ... it is too broke .. it won't be in windowlists ...
I can move it around ... it will be in every desktop ... I can't raise/lower
it ...
there are very very special cases in which using override redirect is very
slightly ok .. such as the panel .. but even there I took it as a very very
temporary meassure ... and there is NO way to make the panel work otherwise
under a standard WM ... hopefully most WMs will implement the icewm hints
and we won't have to worry about it
a windowmanager not understanding those hints will break quite a lot of apps
worse then it breaks yours ... you should pretty much expect that the
