Finally got a little time to test this a little bit. Unfortunately, all I can really say is that Dexpot gets confused with X11 application windows with xorg-server 1.17.2-1 but was completely fine/working with xorg-server 1.17.1-5.
Here's what I did just now to test: 1) Opened up 3 xterms on Desktop 1 of dexpot 2) Created directories 'one', 'two' and 'three' in my home directory and cd'ed each xterm into these dirs respectively (this ensured that each xterm has a unique title) 3) Minimized xterm "three" to the status bar in Windows, leaving one and two alone 4) Switched to desktop 2, waited 3 seconds, switched back to desktop 1 5) xterms "one" and "two" have disappeared. xterm "three" is still in the status bar and be restored and looks fine 6) ran a 'ps -ef' looking for 'xterm' - I can see all three. 7) dexpot has a 'Desktop Windows' dialog that will list all windows - even hidden ones. Only xterm "three" shows up in this list. 8) Right clicked on X in the task bar and de-selected "Hide Root Window" - only xterm "three" shows up - neither of the other 2 do. Any recommendations on how to test this issue further?
