Hi!

Some programs like to resize and replace themselves after start. This is
annoying as they may move to another screen. For example, Wireshark is
like that.

It uses GTK but ultimately, this is the call to XResizeWindow or
XMoveResizeWindow which triggers this behaviour. Would it be possible to
tell Awesome to ignore those?

If not, such a behaviour could be overrident with LD_PRELOAD. For
example, there is already something done specifically for Steam about
this:
 https://github.com/dscharrer/steamwm

However, I would like something more generic that I could LD_PRELOAD for
the whole session. Unfortunately, there are some legit use of
XMoveResizeWindow. Would it be possible for Awesome to help me when to
prevent such a resize? For example, is it possible for Awesome to set a
property on a window that I could easily read when intercepting
XMoveWindow?
