Comment(by greenfeld):

 For some reason Sugar has its own approach to watching for opened windows.
 I do not know the historical or technical reasons why, although I have
 asked about this in the past.

 Using libsugarize may help with your custom wrappers if you haven't tried
 it already - I believe Martin recompiled a version for the 10.1.3 release.

 Ideally we should eventually support listening to something like X Startup
 Notification either directly or through one of the standard libraries:

 notification-latest.txt
