This is done via the window manager hints. See the XAllocSizeHints()
manual page and the related functions.

Also note that these are only hints to the window manager. Some of them
will obey the hints, other wont.

Most higher level toolkits (Gtk+, Qt, ...) have their own functions to
manage the WM Hints and in this case you should avoid using Xlib directly.
