The handling of _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE itself is correct and complete. - Supported window types: DESKTOP, DOCK, TOOLBAR, MENU, UTILITY, - SPLASH, DIALOG, NORMAL. - UTILITY should get better placement. - TOOLBAR - many parts in KDE still treat this as "tool" window. - - should the decoration be shown for the toolbars? - KDE extensions: - _KDE_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOPMENU - this is used for implementing - standalone menubars for applications. Only the menubar - that is transient for the currently active window will be shown. - See KMenuBar class in libtdeui for details. - _KDE_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_OVERRIDE - this seems to mean "this window - should be borderless", but it's actually used also for other - things, like fullscreen windows. The plan is to get rid of this - flawed thing as soon as possible. -/ 5.7. - The handling of _NET_WM_STATE itself is correct and complete. - Supported states: MODAL, MAXIMIZED_VERT, MAXIMIZED_HORZ, SHADED, - SKIP_TASKBAR, SKIP_PAGER, HIDDEN, ABOVE, BELOW. - STICKY is not supported, because KWin doesn't implement viewports. - BELOW - in order to make 'allow windows to cover the panel' feature - in Kicker work KWin interprets this state a bit differently - for DOCK windows. While normal DOCK windows are in their - extra layer above normal windows, making them BELOW doesn't - move them below normal windows, but only to the same layer, so - that windows can hide Kicker, but Kicker can be also raised - above the windows. A bit hacky, but it's not really against - the spec, and I have no better idea. - KDE extensions: - _NET_WM_STATE_STAYS_ON_TOP - has the same meaning like ABOVE, - and is deprecated in favour of it; it lacks the _KDE prefix -* 5.8. - The handling of _NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS itself is correct and complete. - Supported actions: MOVE, RESIZE, MINIMIZE, SHADE, MAXIMIZE_HORZ, - MAXIMIZE_VERT, CHANGE_DESKTOP, CLOSE - STICK is not supported, because KWin does not implement viewports. - Kicker etc. need to be updated. -+ 5.9. -* 5.10. - Property is not used in KWin. - Kicker needs to be checked. -* 5.11. - KWin's handling of the property is correct. - Qt should be checked. -+ 5.12. -- 5.13. - Property is not used in KWin, KWin never provides icons for iconified windows. - Kicker or its taskbar don't set it either. However, the property is flawed, - and should be replaced by manager selection or similar mechanism. -+ 6.1. -+ 6. (rest) -+ 7.4. - The urgency hint is mapped to the _NET_WM_DEMANDS_ATTENTION flag. -* 7.5. - Qt often sets maximum size smaller than minimum size.
