What i'm thinking of now is that, with Emacs being the WM, we could,
control other applications just like a buffer or a mode in Emacs. For
instance, when there is a firefox, and an Emacs, "C-x 2" can split the
screen into two parts, one of them is firefox. This way, it would be
very convenient and consistent to manage applications running outside
Emacs.
