the thing is we aren't the ones writing the WMs ... so we won't tell you
exactly what you need to do ... I personally like the icewm hints
proposal as we need such hints ... but it's msotly between you wm
authors on how you implement those ... whichever you guys pick will be
the ones gnome uses ... you should ideally all agree on one set of hints
... so that the whole thing isn't a mess ... I think the icewm hints also
take care of some KDE hints as well ...

the other issue is session managment and we are pretty firm in that every
gnome friendly WM should include that ...
