Because an app pinching the entire damn screen isn't always welcome?!?!

I *hate* apps running full-screen - what's the joke? "a gui is a means 
of happening several xterms visible at once" ...

But seriously, "the available display" is NOT the entire screen. It 
should be whatever the user chooses to give you, and that's not always 
as much as you'd like. Yes I know most lusers seem to like full-screen 
apps. That's no reason to upset the power users by forcing them to work 
your way. That's why I hate Word ...
