"_NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR  and _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_PAGER" was interpreted in 
KDE3 but removed for causing other issues and actually not "right" at all.

ignoring "no focus" sounds like a bug, but your case sounds like you want a 
_NET_WM_TYPE_UTILITY?
(notice that by default (?!) this wind will not be displayed unless either 
itself or its client leader -window 1- has the focus)
