That scares me.  Wouldn't we then have the problem that suntools has
where the suntool binaries are huge?  On my sun 3/50 the suntools
program itself is 728 blocks and the various other tools that run
under suntools are 952 blocks.  Yuck.

How about setting up some sort of standard?  For example, all window
managers must use control+shift when the mouse is in a window or an
icon, and when it's in the background the control+shift is optional.
