And, indeed, there's a composition manager floating around now which
does fadeouts on minimisation, so customising it to fade-on-exit if
there was a given WM property wouldn't be too hard. The difficult
problem is keeping the actual app around until the composition manager's
finished fading it out; since it's exited and all.
