It appears there's no hook that would notify of geometry change.
The unshaded state transition happens in the resize handler of the
frame (frame_fitrep), once the tiling managing it has decided that
its size needs to be changed.

You could add a (generic) region_fitrep_hook to be called on resizes,
or maybe an action to region_notify_hook, since no special parameters
need be passed. But perhaps it be simply better to internally (in the
C code) support sharing frames without a tab-bar by enabling it. But
that depends on an option choosing the tab-bar mode (inside, outside, 
shaped)... either patch may be accepted into ion3plus after review
(in particular of more detailed design decisions before the code is
even written).
