I was under the impression that Wayland doesn't specify client- or
server-side decoration, and currently also doesn't have a protocol to
indicate which will be done, right? So that's a little sticky as it
is, but In any case, decoration has to be done no matter what happens
in this X11 side channel, as it does now.

Cheers,
