I looked into this when working on the window decoration changes, and
there is a nicer way (ICCCM has a way of getting us what we want by
setting window gravity just right), but it doesn't work. None if the
window managers I tested handled it correctly.

Not quite. NET_WM could also give us what we want, but none of the
window managers I looked at while investigating this supported that part
of NET_WM.
