Ellis,

Your latest message brings up another important point. Just as my
underlying model of the mouse pointer is that the user, not the system,
controls it. I feel the same way about windows, and window layout. I,
the user, control the windows, and their layout. The basic problem you
seem to be having is that some client is creating windows unexpextedly,
that is, not in response to user action. I can well believe that in a
tiling window manager that would cause all sorts of nasty problems. The
problem is not in the window manager, or in the mouse, but in the
client that is bringing up windows without a user action.
