Ah, now we come closer to the problem. wmii treats applications
which windows request the size of the display as fullscreen
apps, which are always floating. I think we will check, if a
window which is going to be managed by wmii is larger than the
screen dimension, and resizing it if necessary (this only
happens for floating windows).
