I can only speak for kwin, but in the end it's the window manager which decides
to honour a request or not. And in case of kwin it will always be configurable.
I provided several examples when the user's choice would be more powerful than
the applications one.

We discussed it briefly on IRC and had the idea that a window can set an atom
like for example _NET_WM_DISABLE_CM to indicate that compositing should be
disabled while the window is alive. This has of course to be discussed with the
other parties and "standardized" via freedesktop.org NETWM specification.
