[comp.windows.x] Freeing server resources

eric@eddie.MIT.EDU (Eric Van Tassell) (11/15/88)

Is the effect on the sever of having many clients terminate without freeing
the resources they used (ex:call XFreeFont) bad? Is it bad enough so that
one should take care to free up all this stuff if he catches a signal and
has no easy way of knowing what resources he has? tia.

There is no requirement that you free resources before
you terminate.  When the connection closes, the server
will still go ahead and free them for you.
