Fixes #282
Some tiling window managers (i3, dwm, etc.) determine how a window should behave based on
its name. If the name is set after mapping, then window managers will check the name before
we set it, followed by them detecting it as a change when the name is actually set. That
results in the window briefly behaving in an unexpected way, followed by a rapid switch to
the expected behavior.
In accordance to section 4.1.2 of ICCCM, the name, decorations, size hints, and window
deletion redirection have all been moved up to be set before mapping.
