Bah! A pox on WindowMaker's "KDE hints"! Why? Because they're only for
KDE 1. GNOME 1.something-or-another and KDE 2+ share a common hinting
scheme, which I've not seen implemented properly. I've slowly become
used to KWM, but only because I have to.

When I have the time, it might be worthwhile, strapping in support for
the shared hints to windowmaker. So that'll be in about 40 years time
then.

Cheers,

Simon
