I tried to find some related documentation on that property in your documentations. But I didn`t found it clear enough to me, so I try to look at you code. But I really need some help to be sure understanding everything.
My point of view is place on the window manager part (as I am a WM author).
Can somebody try to re-explain me the decoration part ?
MWM_DECOR_ALL
MWM_DECOR_BORDER
MWM_DECOR_RESIZEH
MWM_DECOR_TITLE
MWM_DECOR_MENU
MWM_DECOR_MINIMIZE
MWM_DECOR_MAXIMIZE

These properties and their values are not part of the ICCCM, which doesn`t specify how an application and a window manager combine to set preferred decorations on a window. Rather, they are values which are set on the window, typically from a widget-based application using the Motif VendorShell, that mwm interprets, "out of band". The mechanisms are documented in the man page that describes XmNmwmDecorations. However, because this resource is effectively private to Motif, it is possible that the interpretation of the values can change (although I admit it`s not likely -- there are already too many copies of mwm floating around out there). Your window manager can certainly understand these values, if you like, but you`d have to have the same concept of window manager decorations as mwm does in order for the values to make sense in your context.
