How often is this going to be useful? Full-sized window decorations are
full-sized for a reason - if they were any smaller they would be
difficult to use.

So basically it's exactly like a transient window!
This could also be specified by switching off all MWW decoration hints
except BORDER.

I think everything that's really necessary in the new proposal could be
achieved with MWM hints, and applications would not have to be updated
to use a new set of hints.
