i guess i was just thinking from my point of view and for me it'd be easier. i
just add a flag to the manage_client() call to say manage it but just skip the
final step of mapping the frame (and client window) and setting the visible
flags. otherwise everything else percolates thru the system as if the window was
a window that was mapped once then unmapped but still managed so it would be
easier from my view - that's for sure :) hmmm...

ok - what to do, what to do...
