- It's wrong to replace the call to XGetWindowProperty with a call to that
- followed by a call to XDeleteProperty. The read-and-delete needs to be
- an atomic operation; it's a semaphore. I don't understand why this
- would fix anything, but probably it's just hiding the real bug instead
- of fixing it. (Either that or your X server or Xlib doesn't correctly
- implement XGetWindowProperty, which is pretty inconcievable.)
