So you go away and patch the windowmanagers, and X.

Then you can implement it *proplerly*, in a consistant and usable
manner.

Until then, please let's not put a dirty hack into gnome-libs.

Jaka: well done, you did a good job on the code, I am not knocking

Ask the wm-spec list, or any wm author or X maintainer.
