Ok, I think we can do that.  I think I'll stick a version number into the 
window attributes structure so we can return more stuff in the future 
while remaining binary compatible with older apps and not require 
allocations of the data structure.  This will also let me fall back to the 
core protocol when XFixes isn't supported.

I like this better than kludging the core protocol.  Thanks, Egbert.
