   As a side comment on your code, you might want to be a little careful
   with using epoch::create-screen instead of create-screen. The latter
   does a number of other things that are desireable, foremost being that
   it sets the WM_PROTOCOLS property on the new screen, to indicate that
   Epoch will receive WM_PROTOCOL_DELETE messages. Check out the code in
   epoch.el for more detail.

Yes, this is good to know.  The OpenWindows window manager "olwm"
provides a per-window menu that you get by clicking on a window's
title bar.  One of the items in that menu is "Quit", which normally
causes the window to be deleted.  If, however, the window was created
with "epoch::create-screen" instead of "create-screen", all of Epoch
will quit -- no warnings, no "save your buffers?", no nothing.  Most
unsettling, to say the least.
