I was aware that zwgc had a per message geometry spec option.  I think
the diea of adding a T or B field to that is an excellent idea for all
the reasons mentioned.

There is a very easy way to deal with the problem of clicking away
messages that you receive after pushing down the button.  Put a good
.5 second delay before the down and up click; zwgc requires a down and
up mouse click event to kill a message, so if one arrives between the
two clicks neither will get killed.

A lot of people on white-magic (who arguably use zephyr as much or
more than anyone else, and are "typical users") already use this
technique..
