 Please see 
http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html#id2511406 for a 
description of what those flags are supposed to do exactly.

 NET::Max == ( Net::MaxVert | NET::MaxHoriz ) , therefore if you first check 
for NET::Max, it's never going to check the other two. Since Windows has no 
partial maximization AFAIK, you could probably treat it as either of them 
being set meaning full maximization.

 This is an internal flag, used only by the window manager. Make it a no-op.

 NET::FullScreen is not a plain resize to the screen size. It is a flag to 
tell the WM to do so temporarily and to do other relevant handling. 
Specifically, in your case, setting and resetting the flag is meant to 
restore the original geometry.

> NET::KeepBelow calls KWindowSystem::lowerWindow()

 As the name says, the flag is meant to keep it down there, not just move it. 
I guess you can't do that on Windows? It's a question whether it's better to 
lower the window or do nothing in such case then.
