Hi Martin,
thanks for your patch and the detailed description. The case you
describe is valid and I know that you have been testing your patch
thoroughly. I like the general approach - just a few small comments inline.
Regards,
Simon

I think this comment can go away. The code itself should be clear enough.

We should return False here if we do not find a window and for the
docstring I would recommend something like "Check if an X-window with
the given xid is in the windows stack".

Not introduced by your patch, but I would do a check here as well if we
have a window already (we do for all the other calls).

return None

This code gets called for each window including the launcher. To make
that clear maybe you can come up with another message.

With the current logic the debug log does not log what we expect, we
fail to get the type of the main window. The window stack contains the
launcher window and the main window at this particular time, and as we
call 'self._windows[0]' in 'get_type' it will return None as we do try
to get the type of the launcher window.

"self._remove_activity_by_xid" is not used anymore after your patch
"self._remove_activity(activity)" is now - so we can remove that method.
