 No, that wouldn't work. The timestamp is meant as the time of last user 
activity in the application. If you get PropertyNotify because of some change 
on the root window, remember the timestamp, and then the app maps a window 
for some (not user triggered) reason, the window will appear to be caused by 
a user action (e.g. to the WM), even if it won't be so.
