I'd like to see this too, but have two questions:
1. How does the "system" know which X windows are part of which
application? One is supposed to use the "window_group" field in the
XWMHints field -- another thing for quartz-wm to do:
``The "window_group" lets you specify that this window belongs to a
group of other windows. For example, if a single application
manipulates multiple top-level windows, this allows you to provide
enough information that a window manager can iconify all of the
windows rather than just the one window.''
2. What dock icon should be shown for an application? X11
applications don't really have any idea of this. Again, perhaps the
WM_ICON_NAME could be set to the path of an icon file.
