hold on. the onyl way you can posiibly come clos eit mwm hints - but
your solution here isnt WM indipendant. You arent guaranteed of
anythign from the WM. Bascially what needs to be done is a negotiation
of decorations - ie the app tries to map - wm intercepts is abotu to
map - app has set property that it wishes to negotiate - wm sets
property as to what level of decor its adding (thsi s a fuzzy one) -
app sees porperty change, looks at it... um.... ok.. sounding bad
already. the mem decor hints i personally dont believe are sufficient...
