FWIW, it's not worthwhile doing much hacking around with other anchor
locations anyway; I've seen any number of window managers not handle it
quite right. I can't remember ever seeing it's equivalent in use on
non-X11 platforms either. Maybe lots of things support it, but nobody
seems to use it. Sounds like "let users provide a patch to make it work
after release :-)" to me...
