Tom:

The issue is one of compliancy, for the windowmanager, which has the most
direct hand in enforcing this. Windowmanagers, under the UISG, are subject
to the same restrictions enforced by the Compliancy Levels that any other
app is -- We're working on whether or not we should enforce a line in the
UISG which says all windows must be equal to, or less than the dimensions
of the physically viewable area.
