These are all workarounds for apps that are not setting window hints
correctly and I think most people agree that it's not a good idea to
adjust our default option values for this. Feel free to add the
workarounds to the compiz.org wiki, though.

I suggest that you submit java and firefox bug reports for this if you
haven't already. That way it might get fixed where it's supposed to be
fixed.
