(EWMH) standards.
GLFW uses the `_MOTIF_WM_HINTS` window property to support borderless windows.
If the running window manager does not support this property, the
`GLFW_DECORATED` hint will have no effect.
GLFW uses the ICCCM `WM_DELETE_WINDOW` protocol to intercept the user
attempting to close the GLFW window. If the running window manager does not
support this protocol, the close callback will never be called.

process events. If the running window manager does not support this protocol,
the user will not be notified if the application locks up.
GLFW uses the EWMH `_NET_WM_STATE` protocol to tell the window manager to make
the GLFW window full screen. If the running window manager does not support this
protocol, full screen windows may not work properly. GLFW has a fallback code
path in case this protocol is unavailable, but every window manager behaves
slightly differently in this regard.
GLFW uses the EWMH `_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN` window state to tell the window

GLFW uses the EWMH `_NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR` window property to tell a
compositing window manager to un-redirect full screen GLFW windows. If the
running window manager uses compositing but does not support this property then
additional copying may be performed for each buffer swap of full screen windows.
