I guess where I would disagree here is that I see no evidence that
legacy apps depend on a single behavior. It seems that historically
window managers are broken in six dozen different ways, and apps also
are.

Basically I don't know what the "legacy way" *is* ;-)
Is it "what mwm does"? "what twm does"?
