I will repeat that the correct way to designate decoration windows is to attach a decoration property to them, both to answer questions of "is this a real window?" and to be able to recover if xmonad exits unexpectedly leaving its decoration windows around (otherwise restarting xmonad turns decoration windows into managed windows because it doesn't know any better).
decoration windows have the override_redirect bit set to true, and so xmonad is not going to manage them on a restart. a property could be a cleaner solution but I'm not so sure. Thanks, Andrea
