Splash window type indicates that the window is a splash screen
displayed as an application is starting up. I wouldn't say that this is
what the switcher window is. To me it seems like the switcher window
better match the behavior of a parentless dialog or the new notification
window type.
A non-override-redirect window without a type hint should be considered
of type Normal, according to the EWMH spec. So as long as I'm not
convinced that some other type than Normal is more correct, I wont be
setting that hint.
You can always look for the "_SWITCH_SELECT_WINDOW" hint if you really
need to determine if a window is a switcher window.
