What is a "layout system"? I don't think such a thing exists, in general, for positioning top-level windows on major platforms. Each application has to write its own, and it is reasonable for the layout system itself [which, as I've pointed out, is part of the application - there is no such thing as a system service] to need access to this information. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
