That will work on fwvm, but not on metacity.  Using 0 for the mask will fail no matter what, and use of any value but 0 for data.l[3] seems to further restrict the masks which will work, it seems.  In any case, none of them work from within the application itself (altho they do in fvwm), only when called from an external process. Have you actually used this yourself?

The "Bad Request" reply may be an Xlib issue, since it also occurs under fwvm whether the request works or not.
