Hi Daniel,

thanks for pointing this out, it wasn't clear in all the idle mess. My
current code makes the XO disappear for a while, as you suspected. It
works well if I just move it after the window manager is started, with
the rest of the initializations. There is the issue of the intro
window, but I think I can figure out how to deal with that nicely.
