This function is specific to the X11 backend of GDK, and indicates whether the window manager supports a certain hint from the Extended Window Manager Hints specification.
When using this function, keep in mind that the window manager can change over time; so you shouldn’t use this function in a way that impacts persistent application state. A common bug is that your application can start up before the window manager does when the user logs in, and before the window manager starts supports_net_wm_hint will return false for every property. You can monitor the window_manager_changed signal on Screen to detect a window manager change.
