I think this change can be applied. At some point I did some kludges
to decide if something is floating (or fullscreen) in applyrules, and
at that time it was important to have the geometry applied after
applyrules. I'm still thinking about it, but can't see anything
harmful right now.

If I share the same view tomorrow, I will apply your patch.
