Oh! Then my answer is: I don't see the usefulness (even after reading your
why's and when's). And if an app finds useful such a feature, it should be
implemented in the app, which would then be able to discern between windows
that _do have_ to move with the leader and those who don't.
And anyways, apps that need to keep their windows together better use MDI.
