DESCRIPTION
The XSetWMHints function sets the window manager hints
that include icon information and location, the initial
state of the window, and whether the application relies
on the window manager to get keyboard input.
XSetWMHints can generate BadAlloc and BadWindow errors.
The XGetWMHints function reads the window manager hints
and returns NULL if no WM_HINTS property was set on the
window or a pointer to a XWMHints structure if it
succeeds. When finished with the data, free the space
used for it by calling XFree.
XGetWMHints can generate a BadWindow error.
