The whole application section was supposed to be commented out, you're
right about the extra -->, thanks. I'll try figure out what's
different with the animation on.

I'm not sure why, but gkrellm is not actually setting the skip pager
or taskbar hints on its window, when I have it enabled in the
configuration.  The hints are listed in _NET_SUPPORTED so I'm a little
clueless why it isn't setting them at all.

I think we were assuming that windows would be be deiconified and
focused, or would be deiconified with a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW request.  I
guess deiconifying windows should automatically focus them when
<focusNew> is enabled.

Thanks,
