I think that creating different classes of windows would be the more correct
way to go about doing it. It's a lot more platform independant, and I think
more intuitive. For example:

    Window (default)
    ScrolledWin (window with scrollbars)
    DialogWin (modal)
    MDIWin (MDI window)
    MessageWin (popup messagebox)
    ChildWin (MDI child)
    ChildScrolledWin (MDI child w/scrollbars)
    ToolboxWin (floating window)
    PaletteWin (same as ToolboxWin)

I had intended for some time to take that route, but not gotten around to
it. I've never really been a fan of that last field in create(); it exposes
too much of the API to the casual user. It's also potentially more fragile.
