What's the replacement for this array initialization: "ubyte[4096] window =0;"

That's not entirely true. For integers, the initialization is 
always 0, which is expected and convenient.

For characters, it's 0xFF, because what else are you going to 
initialize it to? space? Given there is no standard default 
initial value, D chose the mostest garbage value possible (but in 
a defined behavior).

As for floats, well, arguably, I prefer the NaN behavior, because 
floats are very strange beasts, and the initialization scheme 
reminds me that there are many many many pitfals to remember.
