Re: Sawfish/Gnome/Xinerama dropping windows

[Scott Anderson <ee_in_co yahoo com>]

I put the information from xwininfo and xprop below.  xwininfo reports that the first gnome-panel
window is unmapped with override redirect state no.  xprop reports the WM_STATE property is not
found.  The second gnome-panel window is also unmapped with override redirect state yes and
WM_STATE is not found.

Just making sure I understand so far, this means the windows were unmapped.  Does unmapped mean
closed?

We don't know if the unmapping was caused by the client (which is gnome-panel in this case) or
some bug in sawfish?

Once a window is unmapped, there is no way to map it again?

So at this point I should restart gnome-panel and wait for the next occurence.  What information
would help us learn more the next time?
