Of course having wondered about this for ages, it was absolutely,
futilely inevitable that the answer would strike me just after posting
about it.
It resulted from a grotty hack (ta-daa!) in wm2. I've fixed it; it
was really trivial. Bah. The window manager was adding an extra
child window to the application's main X window. Quite why no other
X application has ever cared about this is really beyond me.
Sorry to have wasted your time. (Wanders off in a daze, slapping his
forehead repeatedly.)
