The difference is, wmii does not ignore such windows. It handles
them in the same way. wmii only ignores override_redirect'ed
windows. If a window requests screen size it gets screen size
and its border gets invisible. To me there is nothing wrong with
this behavior.

   OR
      - it requests screen size
   OR
      - it requests a fixed size (in wmii-3.1+)
