I can't seem to get a property-notify-event listener on my window to fire :-(

I had a thought about using focus-in/out and checking
window.get_property("is-topmost") - unfortunately, the value of that
property doesn't seem reliable enough (or, rather, the focus-out fires
before the window is minimised)

Cheers,

Andrew
