WindowBlinds was not a replacement window manager for Windows. It merely did some hackery to change some of the look and some behaviors and it always ran on top of the existing WM. Think of it more like a very-heavy theme. In the end things like window lists, window position and stacking order were still the same. In addition, it was awfully slow and memory hungry.
