The protocol spec seems unclear on the subject of visibility notify. In
particular, you get visibility notification when you become "obscured"
and windows that are "higher in the global stacking order" obscure you.
Stacking order is defined only on siblings, and I assume that "global
stacking order" is intended to cover all windows. However I can't tell
if a parent is "higher in the global stacking order" than its children.

The question arises because I want to know if I should expect to get
visibility notifies if I become clipped by my parent. In order of priority:

	1) I'd like a clarification of the protocol
	2) I'd like to get visibility notifies if I become clipped by my parent
	n) I'd like to get a visibility notify, "totally obscured" if I
get unmappped
