Ok. I was just legitimately surprised at this because both chromium and
virt-manager handle full screen requests and just fill the space they
are given which is super nice.

I don't actually expect the applications to go fullscreen but I was just
surprised that it completely broke these two.

I've done some research into this Extended Window Manager Hints thing
and I understand not wanting to support it as it looks to be very
complicated and would require supporting window operations are against
the whole idea of 9wm.

However, in the interest of not breaking applications, would sending a
blank _NET_SUPPORTED work? That might allow some of these applications
to try and fall back on other methods of going fullscreen and prevent
them from becoming unusable. This is just based on what I've read here
and may not reflect the reality of how this spec is used:
