Sure, unlike ->set_decorated, which just ataches a property "please,
don't decorate this window", and the window manager does not have to
honour it. But ->set_override_redirect is another matter. It tells the
X server not to honour configure redirect on the parent (root) window,
so window-manager does not know about the window. So it has to work.

However, it does not honour desktops and it does not honour stacking
order from the window manager. Also the window might end up invissible
in some window managers, that do desktops with windows instead of
mapping and unmapping (IIRC Enlightment does this).
