thanks - I can reproduce the problem.  It was introduced by this item in #334:

	fix repainting, e.g., on resize, when double-buffering is used with Xft
	(patch by Daniel Colascione).

That change eliminated a check for zIconBeep before handling struct-notify.

There were other things changed, whose relevance to double-buffering is more
apparent.  Perhaps just ifdef'ing the check (so it's unavailable if double-
buffering isn't configured) will be enough.  Since it's an experimental
feature, it's not part of the Debian package.
