I see now that it's not a problem and I would go as far
as saying that they should overlap, if we want spatiality.

If spatiality is a requirement it would seem that
the attributes need to be shared by desktop mode and
window mode, so that the window form of a desktop (or
rather its scrollview) has the same size, and the same
view mode.

Same as above. The attributes need to be shared so they
have the exact same placement. Perhaps I'm naive here, not
knowing the Tracker code base intimately, but this does
seem simple enough. A lot simpler than what I though at
the beginning of this discussion.
