I noticed one instance of this while looking at the code the other day,
and after a quick grep, realized it happened a *lot*! One of the many
frustrating things about the English language is that we use apostrophes
to make pretty much everything possessive *except* the pronoun "it".
In that case, we use "its". "It's" is reserved for the contraction
meaning "it is" or "it has".
As reported by Nerijus Baliunas and Paul Jakma, the GNOME application,
which use the GTK toolkit, are asking to have no window decoration. This
can be solved by editing the window's attributes in Window Maker, but this
can be tedious when there are many GNOME application used.
This patch adds a configuration option: Window Maker tries to detect for
GTK-based windows and in this case ignore the decoration hints that were
provided by the application.

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.

- Also tested the backward compatibility ability of the WINGs proplist code
which seems to work quite well.
Starting with this moment, Window Maker no longer needs libPropList and is
now using the better and much more robust proplist code from WINGs. Also the
WINGs based proplist code is actively maintained while the old libPropList
code is practically dead and flawed by the fact that it borrowed concepts
from the UserDefaults which conflicted with the retain/release mechanism,
making some problems that libPropList had, practically unsolvable without a
complete redesign (which can be found in the more robust WINGs code).
