This is just wrong. All splash screens should work the same way; there's 
no reason yours is special. So just tell the WM that it's a splash 
screen and don't do anything else.

If you think the WM should be fixed (which sounds plausible) then file a 
bug against the WM and fix all apps at once. If the WM is really broken 
and doesn't get fixed, then people won't use it, they'll use a different 
one.

In any case, it's not your problem. The responsibility of the app is to 
accurately describe that the window is a splash screen, the 
responsibility of the WM is to then make the window have the right 
window behaviors for splash screens.
