There have been a flurry of votes in this group against windows with
active borders. I really don't think we should be voting here, but I do
want to balance the unsided view we've been getting.

I don't like the meta-left-click uwm interface I'm using right now. It
requires to much of my mind-power to remember what does what. I'd rather
save my brain for the problems I'm being paid to deal with, and have
active borders that respond to all mouse buttons, with and without any
modifier bits, in the same way.

It would also be nice if, when friends call for help, I could walk over to
their tube and use the same commands I use in my own account. Sigh, I just
can't get everything I want. (see next para.)

The conclusion of course, is that X is doing the right thing by not
forcing one choice or the other. As long as we can each get or write the
window manager we want, we'll be happy.
