I just recieved this message from Jim Fulton:

Oops.  It looks like my example was flawed, perhaps there is no problem
with using DefaultScreen().  I still have this feeling that DefaultScreen()
will fail when I least expect it.  I will continue to use RootWindowOfScreen()
as this will clearly do the right thing.  Sorry for any inconvience.
