   Philip Gust, from HP, made a presentation ...
   What is the reaction from X users and the consortium on these ideas?

These ideas are not being discussed in the X Consortium (HP has not made a
formal proposal, and has not pursued informal discussion).

Some of the suggested reasons for window groups (e.g. drop shadows) can be
dealt with by other mechanisms.  For example, we here (at MIT) have an
experimental extension that, while not intended to directly solve the things
Phil talked about, can be used to solve some of them, and has other sexy uses
as well.
