Checks wether the current process has access to the window manager.
The method will return \code{False} if the window manager is not available,
for instance when running on Mac OS X Server or when logged in via ssh,
or when the current interpreter is not running from a fullblown application
bundle. A script runs from an application bundle either when it has been
started with \program{pythonw} in stead of \program{python} or when running
as an applet.
On Mac OS 9 the method always returns \code{True}.
