Hmm, so I'd have to listen for the 'unmanaged' signal for every single
window and keep track of that? seems like it'll add a bit of complexity but
I guess I can manage.

For the 'window-added' and 'window-removed' signals in MetaWorkspace, do
those behave like 'window-left-monitor' and 'window-entered-monitor' in
MetaScreen? i.e. if a window leaves one workspace and goes to another will
that be a 'window-removed' and a 'window-added' event?
