I know several users who use the contact bubbles and (to fit) window  
styles.. and at least one who will probably show up at my door and  
beat me up if it were removed.

In any case, this really isn't that much less complexity; the  
subclasses to implement those behaviors are well contained and  
surprisingly minimal.

#10812 has nothing to do with the window style so far as I can tell.
