One more ...

Not sure how usefull this would be, but let's throw the idea ...

A way to manage client windows larger than the frame containing it:
ion could provide scrollbars that would scroll the entire client
windows. That should be useless for GUI with a good design, but could
be usefull to make a bad/insufficient design useable. I've never seen
this implemented in a window manager, perhaps it's worth trying to
experiment with it.

For example, I used an application opening a window larger than the
screen. On a WFloatWS, I could MOD1+mouse drag to view the bottom of
the window. On a WIonWS, I had no means to view the bottom.

Other example: Viewing a 16/9 film in xawtv, this scrollbar feature
could be used to hide the black portions of the window. This can be
achieved today with an awfull hack: launching xawtv in a WFloatWS
nested in a WIonWS. Then, the floating window can be larger than the
frame containing it.
