Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I will stick with wine + compiz + the
attached patch, which works for me, until and unless it causes me a different
problem.

I would be glad to take part in a more constructive discussion than
"compiz^Wfvwm2^Wwindow managers have bugs therefore this is a
compiz^Wfvwm2^Wcommon window manager bug", but as it does not appear to be
forthcoming, I will give in after asking this final question, in the hope that
someone will answer it in the future:

What part of compiz's behavior is buggy?  In other words, from my (very brief)
look at ICCCM, I cannot see why wine should expect unmapping its window to do
anything other than cause the window to disappear.

The unmap call happens when moved off the visible screen by the window manager
and then something (potentially entirely outwith the window manager's control
-- even another windows app) triggers a call to SetWindowPos.  What is compiz
doing wrong that is causing wine to unmap the window?  Is it prohibited to move
windows off the visible screen?
