What i'm thinking of now is that, with Emacs being the WM, we could, control other applications just like a buffer or a mode in Emacs. For instance, when there is a firefox, and an Emacs, "C-x 2" can split the screen into two parts, one of them is firefox. This way, it would be very convenient and consistent to manage applications running outside Emacs. -- William
