I fail to see "no drop shadow"  as a state to be honest, but that's another
topic.

I reckon possible tiling state(s) discussions should be driven by developers of
tiling WM/CM, because as far as I am concerned, I reckon "tiled" in itself is
sufficient, anything more precise (thus as edge tiling) might end up being
restrictive, we could have tiling WM/CMs who tile windows in random places on
screen, not just screen edges. But then again, we should discuss that on
wayland-devel ML for a broader audience.
