Comment 19 for bug 118983

There's an interesting update to the sun bug which suggests that they may have made some progress on a fix, but doesn't give details about what version it will be available in:
State 8-Fix Available, bug
it looks like the property is missing because of sime thread race between WM, us and
X-server. It looks like the best way to fix this is do not read the property at random time, but listen for property change events fot it.
