If the WM client reparents a window, mark the new parent as a WM window.
This helps with current mutter, where decoration windows are created by
a separate mutter-x11-frames client instead of the WM client. There
might be other compositors doing something similar now or in the future.
v2:
* Skip the whole unwrap-and-call-down dance in xwl_reparent_window if
xwl_screen->ReparentWindow is NULL.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
