I have always seen this in association with itask-ng. If I stop using itask, I don't have ghost windows. I have seen this for several months now, at least two revisions of itask-ng.
Another incredibly reliable way to generate them is to use thunderbird and compose email. It always seems to create a ghost. Firefox save dialogs usually work too. Based on the other applications I run, I think it is somehow related to transient windows but I have no proof. Restarting almost always crashes e as well, which would lead me to think we have a pointer not getting cleared correctly. I have followed the usual steps of compiling with debug and attaching gdb after the crash, but it never seemed to indicate any real problem. Another really good indication that a pointer isn't pointing where it should be.
