it's actually fairly simple

we are not WM people ... so we said ... "WM writers, come with a set of
nice hints we can use" ... the icewm guy did and is implementing them
already ... I think thsoe hints are fairly good and you guys should go
ahead and talk about them ... basically what we want is for you guys to
make it possible to control window manager stuff through hints ... I
don't think we'd be right in forcing some set of hints we come up with
... it's up to you guys to do that .. and we'll comment on it ...

I think it was mentioned we need capabilities for icon stuff, to make
panel behave sanely ... and control the pager .. etc ... etc ....
anything you can come up with

the other thing is session managment and we have been pretty firm in that
I think
