We're building a system that uses window properties for a "blackboard"
type of inter-process communication.  A group of clients use the same
windows and listen for PropertyNotify events on these windows.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to get PropertyNotify
events when only the properties you're interested in change.  Thus, all
our clients (and often the window manager) get swapped in to process
the PropertyNotify when any property changes, even though most are not
interested.  This noticably affects performance.  Has anyone else had
this problem?  Is there any way to work around it?  Thanks much!
