Actually we are running kind of an experiment.  There is a variable
`xwem-client-strict-activation' we have.  Non-nil value mean the
client is checked to be alive, before performing activation of the
client.  Performing activation on client that have died unexpectadely
may result in BadWindow X errors.  And the most interesting thing -
`xwem-client-strict-activation' has nil value by default :)

However, with recent 2 serious bugs fixes in xlib.  Any X error will
not make xwem hang or something bad - just a notice in the log.
