In Windows and Mac OS X the window manager is tied into the OS. That's not the case for Linux or BSD. Window Maker is the recommended window manager for GNUstep, but a standard feature-set is needed. GNUstep-based applications have additional needs beyond traditional window managers, like handling the dock icon or the menus. Collecting the requirements here will lead to a specification, so any window manager can clearly state whether or not it is GNUstep-compliant.

Window Level
GNUstep needs arbitrary window levels. EWMH define these two:
_NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE, ATOM _NET_WM_STATE_BELOW, ATOM
