Steal the window back when the WM reparents it

I've seen this happen once or twice. Earlier on (in #40) we could get
away with just reparenting the window another time. But here both
reparents succeed, and the issue still happens. But a reparent notify
for `parent_window` did appear on system affected by this issue, which
is very odd. Hopefully this will help.
