System Information
Operating system: Linux-5.18.3-zen1-1-zen-x86_64-with-glibc2.35 64 Bits
Graphics card: Mesa Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 (CFL GT2) Intel 4.6 (Core Profile) Mesa 22.1.1

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.2.0, branch: makepkg (modified), commit date: 2022-06-08 10:22, hash: e05e1e3691

Short description of error
Would it be possible to set the _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG for any preference windows opened in Blender? I am using a window manager and the lack of this causes the preference window to get tiled which is a bit counter productive.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
