It may be the cause of the mysterious drawing issues on 8 bit surfaces with the builtin wm since that calls reparent on a top level window.
Mouse Grabs seem broken but this is tangled with the WindowManager I'm working on that. In general run through all the test cases and see what turns up. Finally we need to start valgrind soon but I think there are enough bugs out that we must fix some of those first. There are some simple but time consuming ones like parsing commandline args.
