Synopsis[]
Another KDE system tray fix. The diff is against 1.3.2. The essential content is the one-line change in wm-spec.jl but I am bundling it with some other cleanups.
As of 3.5.8, KDE has still not completely replaced their old wm-dependent system tray protocol with the freedesktop.org one. They just kluged it: KDE apps continue to use the old protocol, but a kded module called kdetrayproxy tries to perform the part of the wm in that protocol and docks the tray icons using the freedesktop.org protocol.
It turned out that kdetrayproxy watches for new windows not by monitoring MapNotify events but by monitoring changes in the _NET_CLIENT_LIST root window property. Sawfish added windows to that list at a very early stage, before they had even been decorated. The result was kdetrayproxy being confused by the events caused by Sawfish decorating the window and Sawfish being confused by interference from kdetrayproxy. This patch delays the update of _NET_CLIENT_LIST to map-notify-hook. At that time the new window is already mapped (unless it starts iconic - map-notify-hook is executed even in that case).
This patch also fixes a potential problem of reparent-notify-hook getting called with a removed window. I have never seen anyone use that hook though. I also modified unmap_notify so that removal of WM_STATE is the very last action there. That property change indicates to the client that we are done processing the window withdrawal. The client may then reuse the window, e.g., remap it.

- vote: yes. The whole kdetrayproxy scheme is rather flaky, but results with this patch seem encouraging so far. - Tkorvola 19:27, 13 February 2008 (EST)
- vote: yes. Since there are no objections (see recent posts) and I have trust in Timo's work I'm going to apply this patch. Thanks. Janek Kozicki 19:11, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
