Perhaps, but the _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPES hints are semantic, and imho this
hint doesn't belong in the _STATE property since it's not a long-lived
attribute of the window and it can't be changed once the window is
mapped.
Also, it may be confusing when using focus follows mouse mode - read
literally the hint means that windows appearing under the pointer
shouldn't be focused?
