Multi-window design rationale


Why is multi-window mode designed as an "internal window manager" instead of an external Win32-aware external WM? It seems to me that the advantages of an internal WM are no different from an internal WM on a normal X server.

I think it would be less of a hack for an X-Client WM to make Win32 calls than is having WM code embedded into X. Are there important reasons it was done differently?
