I have not tested this case.  Will see what happens.  We have been working on
window client states, so this could have been botched.

Ah, sylpheed.  This program seems to half support common window messages and
confuses blackbox to no end.  In fact it was helping a person with another
sylpheed crash that I came back to hacking on blackbox.

I am disappointed that sylpheed is still managing to cause havoc.  Please, be
sure you have your machine setup to leave core files and also be sure to
compile with "-g" for debugging.  A core file (or gdb backtrace) goes a long
way to helping us find the cause of these issues.  Any testing you can will
help.

thanks.  And thank you for actually using my pre series.  I have the feeling
few people are.
