zbrowser has been broken for a long time, mostly because it does a
number of things the wrong way (like watching all window map
notifications instead of perhaps listening to a private connection to
zwgc, or having zwgc set a property on a special window, or something
like that...) In fact, the latest version of zwgc doesn't set
properties at all, so zbrowser can't even pretend to work with it.
	In other words, don't waste your time (or disk space) with
zbrowser.
