just a little clarification in case you did not make mistake in above
statement.
Window Manager does not manage, know or in any way care about windows that
are
not mapped. Thus it can't report it. In fact the only way of keeping track
of such
windows, except for some custom communication mechanism, would be repitedly
requerying window hierarchy.
