- An educated guess here, if you don't mind: It is equally good design
- to keep all routines that directly affect a window in the task that is
- responsible for a window. If the layout was done in another task, it
- could easily get desynchronised with the window itself, and obviously
- any results would be at best worthless.

- You'll find a lot of people have strong doubts of that ever
- happening. In the meanwhile, if you think AWeb development has
- stopped, you're mistaken.
