Which, beside being nonportable, would be confusing as well
because the *behaviour* of windows will not follow user's
window manager preferences even if we assume the window
manager incidentally was metacity.

If you decide to implement an incompatible window managment
system in your application, please make the windows look
incompatibly too and ideally put `This window spits on your
window manager preferences' to their title bars in large red
letters.  Thanks.
