#5271: Sugar should track window property changes

 The Sugar-specific window properties currently must be set before opening
 the activity window, otherwise Sugar mistakes that window for a raw X app.
 This is difficult with many window toolkits that create and open a window
 in one go, with no chance to intervene. Activity authors are resorting to
 [http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=Low-
 level_Activity_API&diff=0&oldid=81450 terrible hacks] to work around this.
 Much better would be if Sugar tracked window property changes on open top-
 level "raw" X windows, so if an activity opens the window first and then
 sets the Sugar properties, it will still be recognized as an activity.
