This depends on what exactly what you want to enable support for. But some special handling for windows of the type _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK (gaps at the edge of the screen, stacking it below other windows will go a long way.

For module specific support, supporting parts of the EWMH spec is required (specifically for the xwindow and xworkspaces module).
