Comment (by jg):

 Heh...

 This does not have to wait for Sugar.

 As I pointed out in a camera bug on this issue, the ICCCM/EWMH documents
 define ways you can know you are visible or not.

 So at least for many applications, they should be keying on visibility and
 not have to deal with any sugar information.  This will help portability
 to non-sugar environments.

 This won't always be true: but for activities where it does they should
 definitely use the standard X mechanisms and not any sugar mechanisms.

 Chris, are there any offending applications at this time?  If there are,
 there should be trac issues for each of them.
