Those changes are not directly related to tiling, they are more about
negotiating the "state" of which a surface is drawn. In the wip we have so far
introduced a "no drop shadow" state. All these states are supposed to be
optional, and guaranteed to be respected when supported.

I think it might make sense to have tiling state part of the "window state"
enum, and and probably tiling edges. For example, I suspect a "no_shadow" mode
would mean we still have rounded corners, but a "tiling" mode, we'd have sharp
corners.
