Please allow for *everything* in the comm layer (non-rectangular views, 
transparency, etc.). The API is limited, but that's no reason to limit 
the app_server. Also, I would reccomend having window borders drawn as 
a non-rectangular view by BWindow, and *not* by the app_server to make 
things more flexible.
