[Bug 1387711] [NEW] Unity doesn't respect NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS

 

Public bug reported:

According to http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/latest/ar01s05.html :
Atoms present in the list indicate allowed actions, atoms not present in the list indicate actions that are not supported for this window. The Window Manager MUST keep this property updated to reflect the actions which are currently "active" or "sensitive" for a window.

However, if I set NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS to a list not containing
NET_WM_ACTION_RESIZE (along with the MAXIMIZE atoms), I can still
resize/maximize the window using the mouse. Only by forcing min and max
size in the WM normal hints can I achieve the desired behavior.
