Research direction

Start by reviewing the desktop_multi_window ^0.2.1 and window_manager ^0.4.3 APIs, focusing on the show/hide subwindow calls mentioned in the report. Determine whether those calls can display or hide the subwindow without moving input focus; done means the other application retains the cursor after either operation.
