(This aspect of its behavior was undocumented.) Well, it *is* documented, in the ICCCM, which as far as I know we pretend to conform to. The user is God, the window manager her prophet. If a window manager makes changes asynchronously to some Lisp program, too bad: the Lisp needs to be able to deal with that.
