He's writing a window manager that doesn't have to be called a window manger
by new users.

Last time you mentioned this, I couldn't find any related bugs in bugzilla -
should I have another look? If you put these in you will get a better
response (if you add the a11y keyword, and make sure Bill Haneman knows
about them, you will get an even better response - I've suggested you do
this before).

We participate in freedesktop.org, and are always pushing for greater
operability. What you are seeing is not strategy, but bugs. Please lodge
these bugs in bugzilla so that developers can look into them. Talking about
them on IRC or debian-gtk-gnome does *not* result in fixes, because they are
not in the development memory of the developers (bugzilla).
