wouldn't that make it difficult to put the window outside the screen deliberately ... for example to hide the window decorations off-screen?
I have needed to use this a few times (when making the window properly fullscreen was not possible or appropriate), and it is sometimes a lot easier than trying to work out how to tell a particular window manager not to put decorations on a particular window.
'devilspie' is what I use for generic window-manager-override tweaking, though I tested it myself with only xfce4 desktop.
yes, I've generally worked it out locally on any linux machine I set up - and devilspie and xfce4 have been useful - but when working on a machine that is not mine to tweak so much, or on OSX in the past, it becomes much simpler to just set the window geometry so that the decorations are hidden off-screen.
