My approach there is not mutually exclusive with Janek's, which 
consisted of adding more error checking to add_window.  To test my patch 
one should try to trip Sawfish on errors as hard as possible, so it is 
best not to add any error checking before gaining reasonable confidence 
that my patch works.  However, eventually some more intermediate error 
checking in add_window would perhaps be good, although not quite as much 
as in Janek's patch should be necessary.

Hm, ok, I suppose.  Some of those other branches were work in progress, 
or more realistically work without much recent progress.  For instance 
the mouse branch just removes badly implemented support for more than 
five mouse buttons, but I have not had time to think about a better 
implementation.  But those branches should be fairly stable.

One thing went wrong though: you should have merged focus-revert instead 
of kde-menu-focus.  Now you actually cancelled the changes in 
transient.jl of commit a2117caef, where focus-revert was merged 
manually.
