I've been kicking around the idea of doing a couple more decorators for
official R1, but I've got well more than enough on my plate to keep me
quite busy for some months. Personally speaking, I like the current
decorator, but if you'd like to do some decorator hacking, please be my
guest. :-) Just a word of warning: the MacOS and Win95 decorators in
the tree have not been updated to work with the changes that have been
made in the decorator code in the app_server, so they are broken. Then
again, I'm not sure they are relevant anymore.
