x11: stupid workaround for XMonad
--x11-netwm=yes now forces NetWM fullscreen, while --x11-netwm=auto (detect whether NetWM fullsctreen support is available) is the old behavior and still the default. See #888.

This may or may not help with broken window managers. This provides some
functionality that was implemented by the now removed ``--fstype`` option.
Actually, it is not known to the developers to which degree this option
was needed, so feedback is welcome.
- By default, NetWM support is autodetected, and using this option forces
- autodetection to fail.
+ Specifically, ``yes`` will force use of NetWM fullscreen support, even if
+ not advertised by the WM. This can be useful for WMs that are broken on
+ purpose, like XMonad. (XMonad supposedly doesn't advertise fullscreen
+ support, because Flash uses it. Apparently, applications which want to
+ use fullscreen anyway are supposed to either ignore the NetWM support hints,
+ or provide a workaround. Shame on XMonad for deliberately breaking X
+ protocols (as if X isn't bad enough already).
+
+ By default, NetWM support is autodetected (``auto``).
+
+ This option might be removed in the future.
