Looks fine from here, running on a glibc2 Linux/PPC box. I've tried it
with xeyes and bclock, and those work great.

I notice that the shape-using windows are displayed only on one workspace.
This is the right thing to do if a window is opened by the user during a
session, but it would be neat if wmx could spot shape-using windows as it
starts up, and display those on *every* workspace. Just cut them loose,
perhaps setting their override-redirect a` la xnodecor.

Doing this would remove the need for xnodecor; perhaps this is no bad
thing as you have to hit it with a fairly big stick to get it working on
some machines at the moment... *g*
