Create COMPLIANCE document describing metacity specification compliance.
2003-11-16 Rob Adams <readams@readams.net>
Create COMPLIANCE document describing metacity specification
compliance. Right now gives detailed EWMH compliance; still need
to add ICCCM compliance information. Also some minor fixes to
bring metacity into compliance on some points.
* COMPLIANCE: new file
* src/display.h, src/display.c (meta_display_open),
src/screen.c (set_supported_hint): add
atom_net_wm_action_fullscreen and atom_net_wm_action_minimize
* src/window.c (set_allowed_actions_hint): some fixes to which
hints to set and add fullscreen and minimize.

It builds on +and extends the ICCCM (See Section 2). A copy of the current EWMH +standard is available at http://freedesktop.org/Standards/wm-spec/ + + a.

Root Window Messages + ----------------------- + ++ _NET_CLOSE_WINDOW (1.3) + +- _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW (-) + Metacity does not support this message.
