All the evidence points to Ion stealing X events from Squeak and refusing
to abide by structure changes requested by clients.  (I can see why they
might want to try to do this given that they're tiling everything.  But,
FWIW, in full-screen mode you shouldn't see *any* WM decoration
whatsoever: Squeak wants to take over the whole screen.)

Aaron: If you're in a position to compile from source you could put
printf()s in the event loop cases Expose, MapNotify and ConfigureNotify to
see what's going on.  Then again your time might be better spent
explaining the problem to the Ion people so that they can fix their WM...
