Got the weird window back tonight - it may have something to do with (I
think) my Sylpheed mail reader. At least that's what I was using when I
noticed it.
frank@debian:~$ xwininfo
xwininfo: Please select the window about which you
would like information by clicking the
mouse in that window.
xwininfo: Window id: 0xc00008 (has no name)

This is after I enlarged it - when it first appears its very small so I
guess it often goes unnoticed.
It's got me baffled...but that's not very hard!
BTW I am running Sid/Lenny
