There are some issues in this function (clearly). There are also
problems of duplicate events when the ALRM signal is raised. I'll have
a go at rewriting this function when I'm on a usable 'puter again.

Unfortunately, ratpoison doesn't pick up on windows that have been
iconized. Thinking about it now, there shouldn't be any reason why I
can't check for the withdrawn windows that are iconic and bring them
back when ratpoison boots up and scans for windows...I'd like to see
what other WMs do about this...
