WM_CHANGE_STATE, actually...
Hm. http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/1.3/ar01s05.html#id2522991 says "A Client wishing to change the state of a window MUST send a _NET_WM_STATE client message to the root window (see below)." Are there multiple ways of doing this now? (I noticed a few other things seem to have changed, but their documentation at least says so.)
Hmm, WM_CHANGE_STATE is ICCCM: http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-4.html#s-4.1.4 Whereas _NET_WM_STATE is EWMH, and covers more possible states. Since both of these are pretty standard, it's likely most clients a little bit of both, I think. Xlib standards kind of frighten me though, so feel free to point out if I'm wrong here.
