I believe that there is (or will be) a standard for what constitutes a
GNOME-compliant WM.  (I don't know who is responsible for that.)  The
style guide should allow an app to assume a GNOME-compliant WM; people
who do not use compliant WMs get what they deserve. :)

In theory, some of what is required to be a compliant WM may fall
under the domain of the style guide, but I think most of the issues
are technical rather than functional or aethestic.
