I'm not sure - but I think this should be the role of a workspace manager
application, and the backend library (xgps/xdps) should provide this
functionality
so that we could potentially have different workspace managers without their
authors having to duplicate this work. This would localize the X-pspecific code
within the shared code of xgps/xdps and leave the author of a workspace manager
free to deal with a single windowing API. It would also mean that workspace
manager applications would be more easily portable to (spits) windows etc.
