I assume those windows have a fixed size (minw == maxw, minh ==
maxh), or those windows have set the transient_for hint (which
is normally used for dialogs or popups) -- dwm prefers isfixed
or transient_for to rules, because that worked out best in the
past. However we can think about changing the priority here.
