Yes, and I removed this sentence. Not send that configure for now in the
other 3 cases for now.

If the full-screen window is not top-most, the compositor won't change
mode here.

If the client ignores or disobeys the configure event, the compositor
will use this FILL method.

And please ignore v4 version, I will send v5 version later soon. :)
