Hello! Perhaps someone can help me with a problem I have. I've been attempting to determine a solution to this problem for a couple of days now. I have a client which spawns other clients. This first client would like to know when any of the other clients die. I would like to know when they die not only through XDestroyWindow(), but when they die because of a broken network connection, or because of a call to XKillClient() from a window manager, or because they received an umaskable event, or whatever. Is there any way the first client can select notification from the server when the other clients connection are broken? Thanks in advance for any and all help. BTW, I tried having the spawned clients create a property which the parent could select PropertyNotify events on. However, when the client broke the connection I didn't receive a PropertyNotify event to tell me that the property had been deleted.
