Comment 3 for bug 747677

I'm concerned about creating an API at the last minute, without time to review the rest of the problem space. The emblem API that is re-discussed in parallel, shows that APIs and design guidelines need to go together or else we risk making even more last minute changes.

I'd rather provide a non-documented, use-at-your-own-risk-if-your-not-U1, API for this release. And promote the API to public status for O, once all the ramifications of this case are well understood. The case in question is the one of service-oriented applications that lack permanent windows. The underlying infrastructure (bamf, launcher, libunity) is still heavily based on the assumption that an application has an open window.
