I think a frame is not exactly a window because in the actual clfswm
you can't manage the geometry of a window. You have to use a group to
do that.

To resume:

Actually:  window -> X window (no geometry)
           group  -> geometry + group of children

Cyrille: window -> X window (no geometry)
         frame  -> geometry + group of children
         group  -> group of children (no geometry)


Which one do you prefer? I'm for the first but open to any ideas to
switch to the second.         
See the "Request for comments: changing the meaning of group in
CLFSWM."  thread.

This will go in the front page on the clfswm website. But while the
code is not stable this is delayed to a next time.
