That'd be the best option. As you say, a frame of the same size will be
invisible. We would have to manipulate the parent frame just in place of
the current window.

Another possibility is to demonstrate that the client is broken relative
to ICCCM for example, and not fix the bug, but fix the application.
Don't know if that's the case here.

It could be, but that'd be Lua side, something you don't want here.
