Iceweasel (Firefox on a Debian install) fails to run if opened with wihack

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a terminal window
2. Type: wihack iceweasel

Same problem exists if using $MODKEY-p

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected result: Iceweasel (firefox) applicaiton opens.

Actual result: Application exits immediately with the error:

The program 'gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 204 error_code 3 request_code 18 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

If the application is run without wihack it opens normally.


What version of the product are you using (wmii -v)? On what operating system?

WMII Version: wmii-20080520, ©2007 Kris Maglione
OS Version: Debian Lenny
Firefox (iceweasel) Version: 2.0.0.14-2

This is why I stopped using wihack by default. I considered fixing this by 
installing
a custom error handler. I might still do it. I think that I removed the 
possibility
for that error in tip, though.
