It definitely doesn't send SIGKILL (which is 9, TERM is 15), because when
Netscape dies Destroy doesn't kill it, nor does SIGTERM, only SIGKILL can
take it down. I was told Destroy closes the program's connection to the
X server, and this is consistent with the error message the program gives
when you Destroy it ("Gdk-ERROR **: an x io error occurred").
