Yeah, you are the second person to mention this, so I think the root
window property thing is getting booted.  Unfortunately, my X skillz
aren't very good (I really don't understand the whole
selection/atom/event stuff very well).  Maybe someone could give me a
few ideas in this area?  Gregory mentioned some projects that might have
some code/ideas that are useful, but so far I have had problems finding
exactly what I need......

Thanks,
James
