I'm already using the XMapWindow too

see intresting part of the code at
http://stage.jetsoftware.com:4539/x.txt

The vroot.h is just an overload of DefaultRootWindows and such so that it
returns the right window (kde desktop, which is not the roor in real life) I
use that to paint on it, kind of like xsnow.

Thank you.
