I'm afraid that exactly that will happen then and I think it's the shell's 
responsibility to enforce the style. For things like Plasma Active or other 
tiling setups we need to have the client without decorations. Our users will 
not consider it as an application bug, it's a bug in our system. I might be 
overly skeptical here, but my experience unfortunately is, that apps and 
toolkits (exception Qt) do not try to integrate with the environment.
