The user requests these things through the application. For example a "startup
maximize" option in a preference dialog.

Again: we are talking hints here. If a window manager is broken in that
respect, people will simply not use it. Except those who just run Netscape and
a bunch of xterms, but that's surely not the kind of users we are talking about
here.

I'm really getting tired of this kind of fundamental discussion. The percentage
of users, especially new Linux users, using KDE or Gnome should be enough of a
proof.
