Hi,

What about when clients change their "preference" in combination with a
window state change?

Lets assume the compositor prefers server side, and the current state
is that the client has set the preferred state to "server_side" as well.

For client driven state change:

client: unset_maximize
server: configure(server_side, unmaximized)
client: set_state(client_side)
server: configure(client_side, unmaximized)

And for the server driven state change:

server: configure(server_side, unmaximized)
client: set_state(client_side)
server: configure(client_side, unmaximized)

We'll temporarly have a unwanted configured state after the first
configures.

I guess this is work-around:able by requiring the compositor to always
reply with a configure() event for each (un)set_state() request no
matter whether any state changed or not (except for the initial state!),
and require the client to always ignore the configure() event when it
knows it will change its state preference.

Requiring that is a bit awkward, or what do you think? It'll make an
extra back-and-forth between the compositor and client a necessity when
a decoration state preference depends on some other window state. I
don't have a better alternative in mind though.
