Sure.  Say I have a program that draws some objects on a window, and
then I want the cursor to change when it is moved near an object.
Either each object can be its own InputOutput window with a different
cursor or you can put an InputOnly window with a different cursor
on top of the object.  The same thing is useful for detecting mouse
presses.  Without subwindows, you would have to track or query
the mouse position all the time and change the cursor manually.
