From my impressions of shaleh's goals past 0.65, once NETWM is implemented, you are going to have less options than you do now. Things like ToggleDecor are going to hit the chopping block i think, and nothing beyond what the NETWM spec provides will be supported. To make my opionion of this known, I think that some blackbox extensions which be excellent. Extentions such as 'pop up root menu' and an even better way to play with the window decorations on a per-window basis, insteasd of just "on or off". xOr -- I am damn unsatisfied to be killed in this way.
