 If that's what you call saying that things are the way things are. The window 
manager is eventually the one in control of all the windows, hence the name, 
and applications just give hints and requests. It is up to the WM to decide 
what to do with those and whether at all. I'm sorry that somebody told you to 
dig a garden with a pole, if the window managers you will use will be lenient 
enough and you will not want too complex things it may work with enough 
hacks, but it still doesn't change anything about the fact that you're trying 
to dig a garden with a pole. But if you want to find out on your own, fair 
enough.
