What do you mean by 'invalid'? On a running desktop, reparenting is
typically done before the window gets mapped, so there shouldn't be
*anything* done to the window by this operation. If you restart the
window manager, it will have to reparent all existing windows, which
looks like an unmap followed by a map, but those operations all do well
defined things to the window contents.
