I'm not sure exactly what this remark is referring to, but Scwm
definitely needs to be able to register both a C function to be run
before the GC, and another C function to be run after the GC. We don't
need to be able to run Scheme code, just invoke a C function of no
arguments.
Thanks,

P.S. We need the after "hook" to, e.g., undo the change of appearance of
the X11 cursor.
