I think it could make more sense to have 2 different hints here:

_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_OVERIDE_ANIMATION : Informs a composite manager to not
animate the window (open/close/focus animation)

_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_OVERIDE_TRANSFORMATION : Informs a composite manager to
not transform a window. Windows like osd's shouldn't be mapped on the cube
or zoomed. Windows with this hint would be displayed nontransformed on the
screen but could have open/close animation applied by the composite
manager.
