More: the problem that I see is not in all uses of that constant, only
in this one:

	     (if (eql desktop #xffffffff)
		 ;; making window sticky
		 (make-window-sticky/workspace w)
	       ;; changing the desktop
	       (make-window-unsticky/workspace w)
	       (send-window-to-workspace-from-first w desktop nil))

If I change the above to f^16, I don't get the error.  (I think that I
previously changed all these constants, which lead to other errors.)

The above wm-spec code is in the `client-message-handler' function,
which is applied in events.c -- in `client_message'.  Looking at that
source, I think that it has the same problem that the above patch
fixes (look for the "case 32:" near the end of the `client_message').
