The floating toolbar thingies are one example of a real curse to get
working right with different window managers. We ended up poking at what
the window manager is in a few places :-(
I always wanted to move the odd bits into a libbrokenwm.so to isolate
them off into one place with some test-cases to demo the issues to let
blame get assigned correctly to them or us.
