No WM at all would be the best for us. We _do_ want multiple windows on
screen at the same time, but we want the software - not the user - to have
full control over movement, resizing, mapping and unmapping etc. For us,
having a windowing system instead of drawing on a raw framebuffer device
etc. is just a matter of convenience from a software development
standpoint - the user won't see much of it. Our device isn't really meant
to be perceived as a computer by the end user, but an appliance...

An "alt-tab" function would be great for more generic functions, but in
our case we'd have to disable it, as well as any menu buttons.

But by all means, any features that's easy to disable is a good feature
:-)
