Ok, for the people who have replied to this.
I am not suggesting no pfe layer. I do actually use it and like the
functionality it provides. What I do take issue with is the
cross-inheritence between layers - the base windows are a perfect
example. That is what my meaning was in the first place, don't think I
explained myself very well.
