You don't want the window manager to behave in a certain way, you want a 
clock without window decorations. The window manager is an 
implementation detail.

I already told you this obviously is a choice. We choose not to provide 
that functionality, because it is not generally useful and can be easily 
achieved by the application (once you find out how ;-).

To convince us, mostly Olivier in this case, to implement a feature you 
will have to convince us it is actually useful. "I want it, I want it, I 
want it" is not enough reason.
