Martin, your reasoning is really good: (it's about the windows themselves, not things such as decorations, resizing behaviors etc.)

But I recommend against this word, which (both puns intended ;) behaves like an example of management-speak. Do we have room to use a 4-word phrase, such as "Configure Window Management Options"? The phrase carries confusing baggage among many English speakers, because it has too many meanings: For example, If you're in upper management, you might "Configure Management" by firing somebody ;)
