What I'm trying to do here is have one application store its base window ID
in a property so another application can read it, and subsequently use
XSendEvent.  Since I'm potentially dealing with large amounts of data, I
don't propose to transmit it via properties at all.  But once the screen is
updated in onee application the other one needs to know about it so that it
can read new data (off a socket), do some computing, then update its display.
I hope to use ClientMessages to keep the applications "in sync."
