If only that was the case! :)  I think there is still mucho trabajo a hacer,
especially in the "Window Manager" part of the multiwin setup.  Everyone seems
to want it to do something different, and IMHO you can either
a) hack the code to make nobody happy (person X says 'oh, I want it to do 
A' and
person Y says 'oh, if it does A then it's junk!'), or
b) put in real configuration files just like FVWM where you have a ~/.xwinrc
with lines like "AlwaysOnTop = FALSE" and "ContextMenu=["xterm on XXX",
"xterm on YYY", ...] and "xterm.*.icon=bigicon.png,littleicon.png"

Plus, there's the work Harold's doing on the windows message hooks which might
be a really big change.
