ok - then this is likely xcomosite based allocation. possibly xcompmgr. w'ed
need to modify xcompmgr to make a window with a name/clas or a title for
xrestop to display useful info if it is xcompmgr (no need to show the window -
simply create it and set properties).

interesting... hmmm. it could be xcomposite, a leak in it or x, or xcompmgr or
maybe somewhere else, but triggered by use of xcomposite + xcompmgr - not sure
though. xcomposite + xdamage + xrender and friends is still "immature" and
needs testing and settling and fixing in some ways :)
