First of all, there is some personal taste involved, which no
wm will ever be able to guess. And second, how long do you
believe you have to wait, until some app will provide these
hints to wmii? (and the hints provided by the programmer may
still not result in what the user wants)
The only way to account for different personal taste is
customizability... (and I don't mean by modifying the source
code).
