Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Currently we aren't tracking windows that haven't been mapped in the
case that they are override redirect, however sometimes these windows
can be destroyed by the time CreateNotify arrives and we might get
Configure requests to try and stack windows relative to them however
since they are not in our internal window lists this will fail and cause
weird things to happen. For example

 - Invisible windows (windows being managed the wrong way around)
 - On suspend resume, gnome-screensaver creates a few windows then destroys them right afterwards, this causes weirdness when it tries to stack relative to those windows and fails.
