Crashes with "unknown request" when tiling a window

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Run pywo --daemon
2. Mess around with the tiling shortcuts for a couple of minutes

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

PyWO should always tile the window. It crashes instead with:
grid_height: win=<Window id=62914731>, kwargs={'size':<Size width=[0.5, 
0.6666666666666666, 0.3333333333333333], height=[0.3333333333333333, 0.5, 
0.6666666666666666]>, 'position':<Gravity x=0.00, y=0.00>, 
'invert_on_resize':0, 'gravity':<Gravity x=0.00, y=0.00>, 'xinerama':1}

If I then try to interrupt PyWO with Ctrl-C:

^CInterrupted!
Exiting PyWO...
PyWO D-Bus Service stopped
Keyboard shortcuts unregistered

At this point, it doesn't return to the shell prompt. From another terminal:

$ pgrep -lf pywo
2498 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/pywo --daemon
$ kill 2498
$ pgrep -lf pywo
2498 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/pywo --daemon
$ kill 2498
$ pgrep -lf pywo
2498 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/pywo --daemon
$ kill -9 2498
$ pgrep -lf pywo
$ 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Revision 195 on Ubuntu 11.04 Classic GNOME session (i.e. no Unity), with 
xinerama = yes in [SETTINGS].
