I strongly dislike supporting subwindow ID/profile tuples. The task of window and compositing managers is and always has been to manage and draw _toplevel_ windows, not subwindows. I don't really think that adding a subwindow management infrastructure to compositing managers just for saving some lines of code in the toolkit (and not even all of them) is an overly good idea.
