I want to find the background pixel value of an existing window,
one I did not create.  The XSetWindowAttributes structure has
a field for background_pixel, but XGetWindowAttributes returns
an XWindowAttributes structure which does not have this field.
In other words, I want the equivalent of XGetBackground (and
XGetForeground), the counterparts of XSetBackground and
XSetForeground, which do exist.
