Correct. Although it sounds like the benifits I'm looking for (full
window manager control) are not possible.

Well, the impression I've gotten is that it is just impossible, because
the stuff I want from enlightenment (window title bars, etc), is handled
at a lower level than the desktop shell which we could potentiall replace.
The goal listed on the web page of allowing explorer to handle the window
management of X apps, while it does not give us as much control, seems
like the only way to achieve a uniform interface between X & windows apps.
