Is there any way to determine the type of an X resource given the XID
(and display, of course)?  The XWMHints struct contains a bare XID,
and my program needs to find out what kind of XID it is.  Also, there's
a DRAWABLE property type, and it would be nice to be able to find out
whether one of these is a pixmap or window.
