    Add startup notification timestamp hack
    
    In the case that we are invoked with a DISPLAY but not a
    DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID, "steal" the current timestamp out of the server and
    act like it's the one we were invokved with.
    
    This deals with the case of launching gedit from a terminal and
    expecting the existing window to raise itself.
