My impression based on the IRC conversation was that Eterm -x didn't
work under e17 without this patch, and that this patch made Eterm more
EWMH-compliant.  If that's not the case, then I misunderstood, and the
patch needs to be rethought.

Some user was in IRC yesterday complaining about a WM (e17 I thought,
but I could be mistaken) that did not provide the _MOTIF_WM_INFO atom,
and thus Eterm kicked in override_redirect.  Not knowing about
Ctrl-click, he assumed the Eterm was fubar.  So apparently *something*
out there doesn't implement MWM hints properly.
