It seems to me that WindowMaker, and some other wm's, have too much redupliation
of effort; WM tries to do things that are provided by GNOME, etc. Sawmill
only attempts to do the subset of things that need to be done by the wm, leaving
everything else to X or to the desktop manager. Seems a better design strategy
to me.
