I have run in to what looks like an X server bug.  I create an
atom on the root window (through an application), 
delete it using xprop and confirm that it is gone (using xprop).
When I re-run the application it thinks the property is still there.

The call to XInternAtom(display, PROP_NAME, True) returns the 
value of the previous instance of the atom instead of None.

Any clues.

Thanks,
