I think I agree with the conclusion of this thread (fullscreen should
override size hints), but also I seem to remember some apps being
broken in that they really couldn't handle it if you didn't honor
their hints.

I can't remember an example specifically though. I guess Emacs had a
different problem (it always sends ConfigureRequest in response to
ConfigureNotify).
