It's already been done, and the developers have been busily rejecting
them out of hand, eg:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2010-November/000031.html

[1] As an aside, the point the original poster in that thread makes
about client-side decorations is very valid.  If you've used Windows
or OS X at all, you'll have seen how a buggy application can
monopolize the display so nothing can be moved or killed or switched.
