I think I can see what you mean about this becoming fragile.

What if a user decides to place some window bigger than what would be allowed on the device? Pure hell I would imagine.

The point of all of this was is to have the entire screen display more open to the end users instead of the people who might port it.

Hope that makes some sense.
