I'm not sure that UI guidelines are best enforced by API edicts
though. Especially for non-K Desktop Environment platforms.

Plus it's not clear to me why the user should care what backend is
being used. I mean if apps can choose "incompatible mechanisms", which
stops the user from doing so? I don't even know what that would be.
