What is the exact problem? The gnome-hints code in sawfish doesn't
listen for any property changes, but the spec on developer.gnome.org
has no such requirement! All the listed client messages to change state
should work correctly.

(the spec gives no way to change _WIN_HINTS after the window has first
been mapped)
