Thanks for the workaround.

If this is the case, then clicking away a zephyrgram at the wrong time
might cause this bug to occur. Since my zwgc usually starts up and
forks off before anything else, I start receiving zephyrgrams before
all my windows and dash are up. That means that I could be clicking
away zgrams before my startup stuff is complete.
