If you use backdrop window on a public (WB) screen you have to intercept
mouse clicks too since you might hit another window that's in front of
the backdrop window.

Now, a 2 color, LORES, 10 rows high screen will use 400 bytes chip memory.
I don't think that it is too much memory wasted, if you attach your
borderless window onto this screen.
