   You don't need to go through all those circumlocutions, just use
   XGetWindowAttributes on root window and check the AllEvents mask for
   the SubstructureRedirectMask event.

And now for the next question: how can I find out WHICH window manager
is controlling my display? When starting up I like to organize things
(e.g. placement of windows and icons) depending on the window manager
in use.
