 I originally was considering simply using the urgency flag instead inventing 
a new one, but eventually decided not to, because of problems like this one, 
that WMs should not set the urgency hint. KWin actually maps the urgency hint 
to the DEMANDS_ATTENTION state, just the way their state is changed is 
different.
