Not exactly.  I want to show window which is similar to window with
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH window type (asit is treated by metacity)
but not "always on top".  And this window should behaves the same ways
under other WMs.

Also, (in different project) I want to have control (as much as it is
possible) over allowed actions, i.e. I want tobe able to inform WM
which actions should be allowed.

Thanks, Oleg.
