I'm not sure offhand of the legality of the patch you gave in terms of
the letter of the protocol, so I won't comment on that for now.  Have
you tried adding the client's windows to the wm's save set?  That way
they'll be preserved at connection close and you can destroy them
yourself at your leisure (if I remember save set semantics correctly).
