Check out my WM: glazier. It uses a standalone tool named ewmh(1) to offload EWMH stuff from the WM. The code is (IMO) relatively simple and easy to read.

This way you can have a clean WM doing only what it should, and implement only the subset of EWMH you need !

That could also help you get familiar with handling EWMH properties in C (note that I do not use xcb/xcb_ewmh.h for it, but plain old Atoms directly, so one less dependency, yeeha!)
