Erm... How can it be so? I cannot believe Wayland is not going to
introduce a standard of some kind for windows management? This is
political design decision or Wayland team just didn't developed their
specifications yet?

Thank you a lot for interesting example. I had some ideas about
possible implementation, but now things got a bit more complicated.
I think I need to figure out more use cases like that one.
