Title:
  Revision 3882 breaks some applications

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  according to http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-
  spec-1.4.html#idm139915845231248

  "A Client whose window has not yet been mapped can request of the
  Window Manager an estimate of the frame extents it will be given upon
  mapping. To retrieve such an estimate, the Client MUST send a
  _NET_REQUEST_FRAME_EXTENTS message to the root window."

  when sending such message unity seems to never respond which hangs any
  application using this feature forever. This was working until last
  update in ubuntu 14.10, somewhere around 16-20 oct 2014.

  this has been noticed with latest GLFW:
