Comment (by sadrul):

 * I think it'd be better for a GntWS to be a GntBindable.
  * Can there be a window which will be in .hidden but not in .list?
  * For configuration, I am thinking of something like the following in
 .gntrc:
 {{{
 [Workspaces]
 count = 4
 name-1 = first-workspace
 name-2 = second workspace
 ..

 [Workspacehint::first-workspace]
 name = buddylist
 title = * -- IRC
 }}}
 Matching window names/titles will probably be tricky, especially if we
 don't want to add a regex parser as a dependency.
  * It might be interesting to see if we could make some windows show up on
 all workspaces.
  * We could add some default menuitem for every window with "Move to
 workspace", "Close", "Maximize", "Move", "Resize" etc. options
 I think all these options should be available from the default WM.

 Should we create some branch so we can both work on these, or should we
 wait for 2.0.0 release?
