metacity, the three most common VMs on Linux today. Exactly *one* VM of 
those handles the hints as expected and that is metacity, the gnome VM. 
So basically its gnome users without any desktop effects that are seeing 
the change. Everybody else(including me, a KDE user) can suck it up 
until their VM supports the window hints as expected by GTK+/GIMP. Which 
with KDE 3.x not being developed any more and KDE 4.1 being too raw is 
an unknown time in the future for kwin.

P.S No, I'm not whining, just correcting an inaccuracy.
P.S.S No, changing a DE is not a solution.
P.S.S.S Sorry David, I intended to send it to the list not just to you...
