OK, I'll use that.  Thanks!

Because you asked me to pipe it through 'grep'!  What I posted is the
full output of the 'xprop | grep ...' command, if that's what you
mean.  The full output of xprop was quite long, and contained a bunch
of apparently meaningless numbers.  I can post it if you like.

I asked about this in #xubuntu and was told I should ask in #xfce4, so
I did, and was told I should ask on this mailing list, so I did.  I
wasn't sure whether this was a bug or not, and so didn't want to post
a bug report.  It seems that it isn't a bug after all.

Would you like me to post it as a feature request, requesting that
xfwm4 implents the same non-standard behaviour as metacity?  I can if
you like.

Chris.
