And regarding things that would not require deep knowledge of Ion itself, and I'd thus prefer someone else waste their time on, is the support for the FDO startup notification specification [1]. It should allow starting those few programs that support the spec in the proper frames they were started in, and also open other windows in their launcher window's frame if not instructed otherwise, and so on. (Setting DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID env. var to some ID we have generated and stored information for, and using _NET_STARTUP_ID should suffice for minimal support, but for e.g. windows launched by other programs, we should properly listen to the protocol proper and use the LAUNCHED_BY field. Likewise for proper support, Ion should tell other programs what it has launched. Communicating with the protocol demands a bit of work...)
