doc: describe the GNOME application issue in the FAQ

Now that Window Maker have been fixed to allow the user to properly control
and save the title bar/resize bar/other decoration settings on the window,
describe the problem reported (first) by Nerijus Baliunas, so more people
may find the answer.

3.11 When I run GNOME application they have no title bar.
----------------------------------
The GNOME toolkit decided to behave his own way, so it draws its own title bar
with buttons, and asks Window Maker to not draw anything (title bar, resize bar,
close and miniaturise button, ...).
The workaround is, for each application, to ask for Window Maker's window menu
(that is likely <Ctrl>+<Escape> if you did not change it), get the Attributes,
and click on the greyed "Disable titlebar" until it is white (the same can be
done for other decoration attributes).
