Well. That solves only part of the problem. A very important part
for some applications but it still doesn't solve all applications
problems.
The problem concerning what should we do with draws in the non
client area is still unsolved. At least unless you consider
sending them to /dev/null (clipping them) as a solution.
When we have decided what to do the more difficult problems
HOW and WHERE still remains.
