The window will be stored in a pixmap of the size of the window as if it 
were unshaped; areas beyond the shape will be undefined.  Automatic 
compositing will copy only those areas within the shape.  Manual 
compositing should respect the shape.  xcompmgr demonstrates how to do 
this by constructing a region from the window clip list.
