I don't believe this feature is possible to implement (with current
specifications) without introducing bugs.  (It is possible to
implement external to metacity using my "libwnck" library for example,
search for the tool "Devil's Pie" by Ross Burton.)

I started a thread on wm-spec-list@gnome.org trying to reach
resolution on this issue, but it remains unresolved.

Anyway, I'm not opposed to the feature, but the feature has to work;
I'm opposed to the feature if it screws up and gets confused about
which windows are which, because I'll get all the bug reports and
confused users from that.
