No longer caching has the drawback that it might cost a lot of cycles,
especially the locking stuff. It is also not 100% safe of thread problems.
Changing the reparent code... Not my field.
Hook for ddraw in X11 reparent code ... Too hacky.
I can do the no-longer cached approach, but I do not entirely like it.
