Don't know if that's the case here.
xmgrace is breaking ICCCM. It's explicitly mentioned that one has to sent a
synthetic UnmapNotify to the root window for normal state -> withdrawn state
(which is what XWithdrawWindow() is for), but xmgrace only unmaps its window.
Still, if you tell people "xmgrace is broken", people will tell you "but it
works everywhere else!" :(
In other news, what's the state of FS#636 "Add reparenting support between wibox
and clients"? Could this be used as a fix?
It could be, but that'd be Lua side, something you don't want here.
Sounds like I'll have to hack up some patches for turning awesome into a
reparenting WM....
