I think there is an important class for windows that have been
missing so far in this discussion and that may be a better example:
foreign windows.  By that I mean windows created by software from a
foreign OS that are displayed using an emulator, remote non-X graphics
client or virtual machine monitor.   Such windows are likely to be
drawn with their native decoration and do not look good when further
decorated by the local WM.  It may not be feasible to mask off the
decoration; even if it is, to allow for such windows to overlap
correctly the replacment decoration needs to be exactly the same
thickness.
