I agree in both regards I think there is a strong case for a WM api if
one is present.
These are two use cases. Also if you remember are talk about inter app ipc.
I'm not agianst it being part of the WM api since I can't see running
two apps without at least a basic window manager ???
Since you would like a concept of all of a apps windows and other similar stuff.
Am I correct that right now if you use windowing you have to have one
of the window managers running. I.e it does not work without one.
