One of the first few. They seem to appear in random order. So this
could be a 1st one as well as a 5th one. I recall long time ago there
was a problem with disappearing firefox windows and it was fixed.
Maybe this one is related.
Besides firefox I recall that at least once I lost some gnuplot
window, could be few months ago. But I was in too hurry to focus on
that.

I wanted to restart with newer version, but I had some compilation problems.

... and so I tried using xdotool. And it worked!
I don't know exactly which command solved this, because I couldn't
get the window to appear on the screen, and lots of commands caused
xdotool to segfault. But after a while I checked with sawfish-client,
and the window was there! Also it appeared back in the window list,
and then - just by clicking on the window list - I had it back.
I am attaching the xterm session log, in case if it will give you any
hint.
Could we think of some lisp 'debug script' that scans xwininfo output
and compares it with windows known to sawfish - trying to detect those
that are no longer mapped? I know there are lots of windows that
aren't mapped at all, but if a window was mapped, and suddenly it is
not - then maybe it isn't normal.
