[comp.windows.x.motif] deleting windows

dms@ai.mit.edu (David M. Siegel) (09/25/90)

I'm wondering what the "approved" way is for deleting windows in Motif. 
The two choices are for the window manager to control deletion, sending
the delete window event, or for the window itself to include a delete
button.  The standard Motif popup windows include their own delete
buttons, so that would suggest that all popup windows that logically can
be deleted should have a delete button.  On the other hand, it is
appealing for the window manager to provide this function, since it
would be more uniform and less programmer work.

In any case, I can't seem to get the window manager delete method to
work. 
Has anyone managed to do this under Motif 1.0?
