Not in my opinion. Seen from the WM the allowed actions list is an 
output only thing which e.g. taskbars can monitor to see which actions 
the WM provides for a particular client window. It makes no sense to 
fetch these on startup as the WM in its nature is completely in charge 
anyway of which actions it will perform on a window.

Even if the WM should pick up old values or ones set by a client the way 
to go would not be to pick them off one by one using 
ecore_x_netwm_allowed_action_isset but to fetch all of them in one go 
using ecore_x_netwm_allowed_action_get.
