My current idea for a Window Manager is to remove unnecessary window 
manipulation commands by ensuring that all screen space is used. This 
would usually result in all windows being maximised (when the user is 
focussing on a single task), so the top left co-ords thing wouldn't be 
useful.

If I get a chance I'll elaborate on my WM ideas tonight.
