Endolith:

1) I get a permissions error going to that page. Can you attach the mockup here?

2) Yes, exactly: gtk.gdk.WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DIALOG ends up as an EWMH hint. If we were to do what you want here, we would need to add a new EWMH hint. wm-spec-list is the mailing list to propose new EWMH hints on.

3) My discomfort with this idea is nothing to do with the technical side of things. It's unrelated to the fact that a window can be a dialogue or an ordinary window. It's merely because I can't see how it differs, from the user's point of view, from minimisation, which has been in X for twenty-five years now.
