Precisely the information I was after.  Thank you.  Now I just need to find some time to try it out, and I'll report back.

By the way, is there a standard way that WMs are supposed to deal with _NET_WM_STRUT properties on windows in the center of the screen that are not maximised themselves?  I haven't had a chance to look at the EWMH standard yet, so if it's in there, ignore me...

Thanks,
