right, an abbreviation like e.g. g_module_supported().
however, the difference is that g_module_supported() checks whether
GModule "is supported", while gdk_wmspec_supported(atom) actually
checks whether the current window manager supports the passed in wmspec
atom. so unless that function was meant to be
gboolean gdk_wmspec_supported (void);
which is obviously not the case, it should be renamed to
gboolean gdk_wmspec_supports (atom_to_support);
