you still can use a private property entirely defined by your wm :) that is
what we do.

BUT - changing wm's mid-stream means you need to standardise such info, and it
means that a wm doesn't have to undergo a clean shutdown for a new one to kick
in properly.

then again - one would argue... how often do users change wm's? really? is this
worth standardising? i know that it is possible for me to support this - but
its usefulness is dubious as i have other things i also need to store between
restarts too and will still need private properties for this.
