I think I've discovered the problem: looks like stickynotes is listening
for the '_NET_WM_USER_TIME' property to change on the
"NAUTILUS_DESKTOP_WINDOW_ID" window. In theory, this should happen when
clicking on the desktop window (among other causes, of course). The
problem is that the property doesn't seem to change when  clicking on
the desktop window. Please notice that no "ButtonPress" event is ever
generated by clicking on the desktop. Only "FocusIn" and "FocusOut"
events are generated when clicking the desktop. This can be checked
using "xev", for example.

What I haven't found is the cause. Maybe another application is
installing an event filter on the desktop window due to some
configuration problem. I don't know :??

The worst problem, though, is that I don't have the slightest idea about
a solution. I'ts been more than 7 years since I wrote a Window Manager
and had to mess with events, desktop windows, etc. Looking for
"_NET_WM_USER_TIME" property changes doesn't seem like a good idea, but
maybe the first approach should be an investigation about why the
desktop window doesn't update that property when clicking the window.

Any ideas?
