I totally agree that this should be a window manager (and I'd really love it to be one, my brief poke at this has just made me want my entire operating system to work like this). I can see why you'd start by prototyping at least in a single app context though, it gives you immediate cross platform support rather than just targeting Linux which is the only place you can really build a window manager this different to what the OS expects, and its just a generally more tractable problem.
