Looks like nobody has any further comments on this. I believe I have
addressed all concerns that were raised (either by fixing the code or by
saying why I think my solution is better).

So I guess all we need now is someone who is willing to review changes
to xprop. And then someone who is willing and able to push these patches
to the official version. Any takers?
