There are problems with both 1.0 and 1.1 wrt to creating shells
off of unrealized parents.  As far as I can tell the problem is that
it checks to see if the parent has a window, and if not, doesn't
set some of the hints that it needs to, but I don't really understand
what's going on there (and I *do* have the source).  My solution
was to create a dummy shell that I realize but don't map.  I use
that as the parent.  I don't know if that would help in your case,
but it's worth a try.
