Edewm standards compliance
==========================

Map:
----
 (?): pending for implementation
 (+): implemented
 (/): partially implemented
 (x): listed in _NET_SUPPORTED, but not implemented
 (-): probably will not be implemented

Netwm compliance (http://freedesktop.org/Standards/wm-spec/)
============================================================

Root window
-----------

(+) _NET_SUPPORTED,
(x) _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK
(?) _NET_CLIENT_LIST
(?) _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING
(?) _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS
(?) _NET_DESKTOP_GEOMETRY
(?) _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT
(?) _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP
(?) _NET_DESKTOP_NAMES
(?) _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW
(?) _NET_WORKAREA
(?) _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK
(-) _NET_VIRTUAL_ROOTS
(?) _NET_DESKTOP_LAYOUT
(?) _NET_SHOWING_DESKTOP
(?) _NET_CLOSE_WINDOW
(?) _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW
(?) _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE

Application window
------------------

(x) _NET_WM_NAME
(/) _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE
	(+) _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL
	(?) _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK
	(+) _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLBAR
	(+) _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_MENU
	(?) _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_UTIL
	(?) _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG
	(+) _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH
	(?) _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DESKTOP

(/) _NET_WM_STATE
	(?) _NET_WM_STATE_MODAL
	(?) _NET_WM_STATE_STICKY
	(/) _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_VERT
	(/) _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_HORZ
	(+) _NET_WM_STATE_SHADED
	(?) _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR
	(?) _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_PAGER
	(?) _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN
	(?) _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN
	(?) _NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE
	(?) _NET_WM_STATE_BELOW

(-) _NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS
	Although in edewm there is facility for easier implementing
	this message, I am not quite sure where will be used.

(?) _NET_WM_STRUT
(?) _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL
(?) _NET_WM_ICON_GEOMETRY
(?) _NET_WM_ICON

(-) _NET_WM_PID
	Probably later will be implemented. For now it is not needed
	at all.
	
(-) _NET_WM_HANDLED_ICONS
(?) _NET_WM_USER_TIME


Icccm compliance
================

Version 2.0 is used as guide.

Note: in WM_NORMAL_HINTS, win_gravitiy is ignored since edewm always
assume and use NorthWestGravity. This will be changed.


Other
=====

Motif
-----

(/) _MOTIF_HINTS
	This hint is, as I can see, very standardized now, but implementations
	differ. Edewm use only decor data from it, since based on decor, allowed
	actions are deduced.

KDE
---
(?) _KWM_WIN_ICON
	Previous edewm version loaded this message, but not used. Probably
	will be implemented for history reasons (hm...)

GNOME
-----
(-) None of them, since no one requested it.


Ambiguities 
===========
If ambiguities arise between similar hints, Netwm is preferred. Then
comes Icccm and Other.


Notes
=====
This document will be tried to be up to date with package. If you notice some
omissions, please mail me at [karijes at users.sf.net].

Important: since standard's documentation is very sparse (nothing unusual) and 
possibility for bad/wrong interpretation of some parts exists, your notice about
them (or different behaviors among other window managers) will be much appreciated.
Mail is above.
