No, at least I've never noticed such problems.

The only thing I see sometimes, with Emacs 23, is that an Emacs frame will, out
of the blue (i.e. when using some other app), suddenly be raised to the front
occasionally. Dunno what causes that, or whether it has anything to do with the
window mgr. It could be some Emacs 23 problem in connection with some of my code
somehow - no idea.

In any case, I've never seen the Emacs frame layout get changed, other than
changes I make to it explicitly, myself. What kind of window mgr does something
horrible like that? ;-)
