I must strongly disagree with this. It's hard enough to handle the X
events Epoch already deals with. It'd be a nightmare to add real WM
capabilities.

I think that the GWM approach, while perhaps not the best in
implementation, is the superior solution in the long term. What you
can already do is communicate in a high-bandwith way with GWM from
Epoch and make requests of the window manager. Building such
communication facilities into the WM makes these capabilities
available to any client that wants them. This is the general scheme
used in CB and we've found it to work quite well.
