  For client side decorations, clients might request no titlebars via
  Motif WM hints. To honor these hints, use:
- `titlebars_enabled = function(c) return c.requests_no_titlebar end`
+ `titlebars_enabled = function(c) return not c.requests_no_titlebar end`
 
  See `client.requests_no_titlebar` for more details.
