Problem with setting some _NET_WM_STATE properties in XFCE

[John Found]

Alter some experiments, I observed, that actually sometimes (on random intervals) the values are set properly. are set properly and in these cases the behaviour of the windows is exactly as expected. 

Unfortunately I didn't managed to find any dependency about when the values are set properly and when not.
