 I don't like much the way it's specified in the _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW 
message. The idea with the source indication field was that there can be 
possibly more values in the future. There's no more room in this message for 
that :(, but could you at least use bits 14 and 15 (so that it can be easily 
extended to the left if necessary) and say simply that it's the source 
indication value specified using only 2 bits?

 Fine with me otherwise.
