*Sigh*. Another crappy (not that it isn't common knowledge that Real
software sucks bigtime) app that goes poking in the WM's property.

Apps may set a shape for their windows with the XShape extension, and it is 
then up to the WM to decide if it wants to support such brain-damage and 
also modify its frame to that shape. Ion does not and certainly will not 
support such perversions that try to override the WM in window management
and decoration. RealOne, however, in its great wisdom apparently goes 
setting the shape for the WM frame as well and the only way to remove
that information is to destroy the frame or restart. (I'm not going to
add extra shielding against such vandal software.)
