There already is such a thing, right, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK. I
think DOCK is supposed to be a panel. I am speculating that other
"hover around the edges" apps like the keyboard can also be DOCK, but
if they can't, we should have a new type or new hints for those - and
continue to assume type DOCK is a panel. Anyhow, short answer, I think
it's OK to use "type == DOCK" rather than "class == panel".
