Doh!  Perfect; thanks very much.  I modified your
example a little to make a script that works with
or without XFCE4.  Shell snippet:

# Get root window ID under XFCE4
ROOT_WINDOW_ID=`xprop -root XFCE_DESKTOP_WINDOW | awk '{print $NF}'`
if test "$ROOT_WINDOW_ID" != "" ; then
    id="-id $ROOT_WINDOW_ID"
else
    id=""
fi

root-tail $id ...rest of root-tail options...

David.
