Doing that is not so popular, as it usually confuses your users more than it 
is buying you. There's a reason, why all graphical operating systems 
(including Windows, although their application developers usually doesn't 
care a whit) try to provide an consistent user interface.

Hmm, do you enter cars, when they move at 100 mph? If yes, how?

Seriously, start with the basics. If you master them, nothing will stop you 
to reconstruct the work of window managers for you own application.

Cheers,
