ah, ok, I understand better.
I have attached a draft extension to the wm-spec, in the form of a patch agains CVS HEAD. Overview: - New _NET_WM_UNMANAGED_WINDOW_TYPE property
Why did you use the HINT key words in the various type. Seems not useful to me.
- New _NET_WM_CM_Sn manager selection for compositing managers - A recommendation that clients also set WM_TRANSIENT_FOR on override redirect windows.
I think that this extension of the spec will be really helpful. It will be good to have some comments/approval from some GTK and QT developers, as at the end it will be their responsibility to implement the spec. Owen, Matthias? There is maybe some QT developers on this list, at least Lubos may give an advice?
