If it's that simple, how about you do it? Won't take you more than, oh,
ten minutes, right?
*wink*
Don't underestimate the difficulty of "trivial" code when it has to work
on two dozens different platforms with different capabilities:
Windows XP, 2000, Vista, 7, 8 ...
Mac OS-X
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, running KDE (3 or 4?), Gnome (2 or 3?), Trinity,
RatPoison, XFCE, something else... or no window manager at all
