Probably, and probably with many other x11 managers. A WM can do
whatever (reparent, resize etc) and all those requests about
decorations, visibility etc are usually just hints that WM can but does
not need to implement. I don't know what exwm does or how Emacs passes
all this data to WM.

It was anyway just a quick test to show how "sticky" tooltip might
look-like, interface wise.
