At first when I killed a window my application saw a SIGPIPE and leaped in front of an oncoming truck. Then I decided to ignore the SIGPIPE since I "knew" what the cause was and would be smarter about dealing with it later. This caused the following: XIO: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server "unix:0.0"^M after 64 requests (63 known processed) with 0 events remaining.^M The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.^M Is it possible to kill a window without sending the entire application into the dumpster? I am running X11R3 on a sun 3/60. TIA. eric@eddie.mit.edu-- Eric Van Tassell(dlcdev!eric@eddie.mit.edu) Progress Software Corp. 22 Cotton Rd. Nashua, NH 03063 {603-882-2488}

Is it possible to kill a window without sending the entire application into the dumpster? Yes, by using the new ICCCM mechanism for this. But it isn't possible using vanilla R3 clients.
