Ok, I'll do that.
I looked at the winprop stuff and there seem to be two ways
to handle a winprop:
1) use extl_table_gets_...(cwin->proptab,key,...) directly,
2) translate the winprop to a member of cwin in
clientwin_get_winprops and then use this member.
I suppose I should use 1), right?
The winprop would be a string with valid values being:
Center
North
NorthWest
NorthEast
...
(case insensitive)
I'm not sure about the name of the winprop:
client_gravity
client_alignment
??
If it is called client_alignment, people will likely be expecting
top
bottom
left
right
to work, too, and maybe also topleft, topright, ...
