Subject: Support for _NET_WM_DONT_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR hints

Hi,

I have proposed [1] some new _NET_WM hints that allow applications to
ask the compositor to unredirect them (games might want that to not
take a performance hit) or
to ask the compositor to never unredirect them (i.e not performance
critical so unredirecting will do more harm then good for them).

I'd like to add support for that in mutter [2] but I'd rather want to
agree with you guys on the hints / language of the spec before using
the NET_WM namespace. Having this in _NET_WM would
also make it easier for applications as they don't have to support
multiple implementations but just set one hint.

Looking forward to feedback from you.

Thanks
