Wait, no.  Let's not get confused here.
Magic Pixel *is* effectively disabled when there is no Window Manager
running, because the command "minimize" is sent to a WM. If there is
none, nothing happens.  That is fine how it is.  No further action needed.

The problem arises on systems that have a Window Manager (like OpenBox),
but no task bar, so no way to un-minimize the X2Go/NX-window once the
user hits the magic pixel.  And we need a way to disable the magic pixel
there, because we need OpenBox for several reasons and can't just ditch
it to fool NX.  So instead of detecting the presence of a Window
Manager, we'd need to detect the presence of a task bar.  Which, I'd
guess, isn't as easy.
