I could theoretically add a window style option to fine tune this.
But I am quite sure at least some distributions will default to
that option leading to a flood of "bug reports" (app. X suddenly
appears at wrong position / wanders over the screen).  I prefer to
find a more user friendly solution.  There needs to be a generic
way to identify applications.
