the problem is the WM can NOT handle all the inter-app communication that is 
needed by a modern desktop environment. Especially, when you have apps that 
are just frames around building blocks that have to talk to each other (like 
for example konqueror, that is just a gui to the dolphin, khtml, konsole, 
gwenview kparts).
