[xmonad] CopyQ clipboard manager: misbehaving window?

[Brandon Allbery]

I can't currently install or experiment with it (maybe in a day or so), but
it would help if you could report the output of xwininfo and xprop on this
window. Both programs let you click on a window to select it, so even if
the program is badly behaved you can run them with a "sleep" to pop up the
window during the sleep period and then wait for the cursor to change to a
crosshair.
