No, the root window exists, you just can't see it.

(If you untick the "Hide Root Window" option on the tray menu after 
you've launched some clients you should be able to see what's going on.)

Unfortunately, the integrated WM used in multiwindow mode doesn't 
support these EWMH hints. (what EWMH support there is has been added on 
a rather ad-hoc basis)
