After some thought, I think the best thing is to allow for arbitrary
creating/setting/getting of window properties. We could do something similar
to X Windows here:
DfbPropertyId TitleId; // some int type
/* called by wm to set up possible properties */
layer->CreateProperty("Window Title", DFPT_STRING, &TitleId);
/* could also have layer->GetPropertyName(property id),
layer->GetPropertyId(property name), etc */
window->SetStringProperty(TitleId, "My Window's Title");
int size;
window->GetPropertySize(TitleId, &size);
char name[size];
window->GetStringProperty(TitleId, name;
This is just some concept code to get us thinking...

yes, we should have a window title (in UTF-8 encoding) and we should
probably support the window types, states and hints listed in the WM
spec:
http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/wm-spec/1.2/html/x224.html
Sticking closely to this spec will make it much easier to implement
the API that wraps this stuff in GTK+ and Qt backends.
Salut, Sven
