 Sometimes, flwm just loses a window. The client thinks it's still connected

 I'm not sure yet what causes the window to disappear. My latest guess is that
 rapid switching of desktops, so that a window is not fully established back on
 the screen before it's sent away again, increases the chances that a window
 will become inaccessible.

Hello Decade,

I think I have seen this behaviour,  but I don't know how to reproduce
it. I suspect a race condition in the window capturing code.

Finding a reliable way to reproduce this bug would help fixing it...

Thanks for your bug report,
