Exactly.

It really was a little easter egg to see if anyone would ever read the code; when John & I originally wrote it we suspected that despite all the claims of "we must have host windows!" nobody would ever use it.

In the slightly more serious end of this conversation, I would like to think that we can completely dump the 'main window' concept from the core VM code and only open a window when the image wants one. I can't see why we would want to save window dimensions in the image header rather than just having the image work it out at window-opening time.
