Window manager plugin?

[J. Landman Gay]

I believe you. I needed it for The Big Project, which already has a 
suspendStack handler, and I was trying to integrate your part. There's a 
backscript too with a few thousand lines of code that traps most system 
messages. I never bothered to figure out why it didn't work, I just 
plugged in my custom handler because it doesn't rely on any system messages.

Your way is cleaner but I needed a hack.
