This snap is completely unusable, so I'm not sure if it's even worth

If something crashes X, it's an X bug; don't confuse X crashes with wmii
crashes.

be _always_ supported, if some apps ask for it without needing it, it's
it's own frking problem.

Max layout and full screen mode have always been rather broken, see
