I'm talking about disruptive for the user, not disruptive for the
programmer. The users are my priority here.

Consider this example. You're watching a movie with a fullscreen
MPlayer. Your system receives a critical update to your window
manager, and it needs to restart. Which should happen: a) MPlayer
stays fullscreen and your window manager generally lets you focus on
the movie, or b) MPlayer resizes, you see a bunch of windows getting
reparented, and then MPlayer returns to fullscreen?
