It sounds like there are three different methods people would like: (of course correct 
me if i'm wrong)

 1. pgserver doesn't do anything special to the apps, let the launcher size them 
appropriately
 2. The current panel/panelbar system, maybe with a combobox title to easily switch 
apps
 3. A new blender/ion-like "frames" interface

I don't think we need anything as complex (and client-side) as X's window managers, 
but maybe we could have a panel widget implementing each of these strategies and they 
could be switched at compile-time.

The only tricky part would be making the application layout style transparent to 
applications themselves. This means that the frames method needs to do something when 
apps change their PG_WP_SIZE parameter, and all of them need to provide a way to put 
the app's own widgets on a bar.
