I'm loath to suggest changes to good old CDE/Motif, since I would 
imagine a lot of people still like it because they're not impressed with 
the direction modern desktops are heading...

But...that could create real usability problems in the current age. 
Should DTWM be extended to support FreeDesktop>ICCC behavior?  Things 
like running fullscreen (and maybe RandR multiple monitor setups, if 
that's needed also) are pretty basic these days.
