Yes, this is right... the EWMH unfortunately doesn't specify many things.
But this is how most WMs implement this and it is IMHO the better way.
But at least it should be defined, if it gets defined I'll update the code
to accord to it.

And as I said the new fullscreen code can be used in a way that it doesn't
require EWMH and doesn't expect any moving/resizing behaviour by the WM.
But more to that when it is time.
