as of now I think only honouring mwm is enough ... other stuff is more up
to the wm writers ...

one thing that will have to be supported by wm's is session managment!!!

other stuff are some hints for sticky windows etc etc ... the icewm
author is already putting these in so you'd better ask him for what they
are so that we only end up with one set of hints :)

so what is needed:
MWM hints
SM support
ICEWM hints (or equivalent, but I would coordinate with the icewm guy)
