You're exactly right.

libwnck-2.18.0 doesn't have a clue about _NET_WM_ACTION_ABOVE or
_NET_WM_ACTION_BELOW... or _OB_WM_ACTION_UNDECORATE,obviously. ;-)

libwnck-2.19.2 *does* know about _NET_WM_ACTION_BELOW and
_NET_WM_ACTION_ABOVE.  But we still get the warning spam about the
_OB_ action. :P

The warnings are from a gratuitous g_warning() in libwnck's window.c
which can be safely commented out.... or the _OB_ action can be
"handled" by doing nothing with it.
