;;Subject: lost windows and how to recover them

;; Here is a little GWM code to recover from major window lossage.

;; I have experienced that Xclients suddenly become out of GWM's reach due
;; to corrupted values for window co-ordinates, size, mapped-status etc. In
;; case some of you have seen similar problems, you may find the follwing
;; code-fragments of interest.
