At this moment i can't say anything about that.
For my own vision, there must be a some kind of manager (maybe
Ffenestri) which creates and manages OS windows (note, that windows
can be without graphical front-end) it can be a typical text console.
This might be helpful in many reasons.
But no more than that. GUI - must be morphic or MVC. I'm against using
OS windows for creating/controlling GUI. This not giving any advances
comparing to morphic, but makes you even more dependent from OS.
