I guess if declare "Support history placement" within the scope of the
EWMH, I would consider clients who do it themselves broken, just as I
consider clients broken who "maximize" their windows by resizing to
screen size. Well, they are less broken if they only use their own
implementation as a fallback if WM support is not there, so you may have
a point. But its still broken since I can no longer globally turn off
history placement by simply switching to a wm which doesn't support it.
