I keep a stack of unmapped windows (especially for surf, which i open unmapped),
managed via the script below.

dir="${HOME}/.wm-banished"

This is very cool, however I have one question. Correct me if I'm
wrong, but you're replacing window-manager functionality with various
small scripts and built-in X tools, right? So wouldn't you just be
creating a (very minimalist) window manager out of those tools? I
haven't actually used them yet so please feel free to correct/scold/yell
at/damn me if I'm wrong.
