Don't know that exactly for myself, but it will probably mean dealing
with some hints more, and perhaps supporting some additional ways of
communication with the panel. I also don't know how session management

Nope. Gnome is based on the idea that any wm will do. For really getting
the last out of it, you will probably need a little patched up version of
your favorite wm, so it knows about virtual screens, minimal decorated
windows, etc.
