This reminds me of the times of yore, when X11
applications were written to be compatible
with any window manager, and window managers
did very little beyond managing windows.
Window managers like TWM (which I used every day
during most of the 1990s) are of course outdated
now, but similar slimmed-down designs seem to be
coming into fashion again, for various reasons.
Even Microsoft removes most bells and whistles in
their Windows-8-interface-formerly-known-as-Metro,
although they of course also break all backward
compatibility in the process, in their inimitable,
classic style. But one current trend in desktops
is clearly "lean", not "ooh, pretty". I like that.
