sure. though in this case only the client can do a shade, it needs to know that
it should vs maximize... but let us now pretend double-click on titlebar would
iconify the window... the problem remains - how does the client indicate to the
wm that you clicked on the titlebar? (vs the levt/top/right border edje, the
corners, a close button, maximize button, a help button etc.)
