After Mr. Horowitz' message, it became a point of honor to find the
problem :-)

A more X-ish solution might be to have a resource, something subtle
like 'wm-is-spineless', which could be set if the window manager
didn't handle program-positioned windows. zwgc could check this
resource to decide which type of hint to give...
At the very least, there could be a command-line option.
