After a quick test it seems that the problem could be a race condition
in kwin.
When ogle goes to/from fullscreen it unmaps the window, waits for
an UnmapNotify, changes the motif decorations, maps the window and
waits for a MapNotify.
When the disappearing window problem occurs, ogle never receives the MapNotify
and hangs waiting for it.

When inserting a sleep(1); before the map, the problem goes away,
which would point to a timing/race problem in kwin.
