So here's a question, and forgive my ignorance:

For those of us who, for whatever reason, can't update to Sierra (yet,
or), would it be possible to devise a hack along the lines of a script
that,

  - Takes inventory of the present list of X clients, and their position;
  - Moves them all one pixel;
  - Then puts them all back where they were?

...? My first thought was, "No, this would violate the structure of
X," but then I thought, "On the contrary, window managers (for
instance) do this sort of thing all the time. (Don't they?)"
