Hi
I like the proposal.
While I can see very well towards what the _discussions_ will be driven, I
still have problems imagining what _real work_ would look like. But I'm
quite sure that things will emerge.
Could the ICCCM protocol proposal be considered as a start point? It
doesn't only deal with window manager mechanisms but also with simple
session management in X and other such stuff.
