The compositor is free to ignore such a request, though.

General windows don't need to know where they are and thus don't need to tell 
the compositor where they should be. The compositor has placed them where they 
fit and, if the user wants to move it, the user will initiate the moving.

That does not apply to desktop fixtures, like docks and taskbars. As agreed 
back in 2012, those fixtures are considered extensions of the compositor 
itself. The best way to accomplish them is to modify the compositor to draw 
them where the compositor wants to.
