Re: Why do I get this error message?

hi,

The error message comes from Window Manager. When a client A (any
application)  is still processing events  (probably X events) after a
WM_DELETE_WINDOW has been sent by the window manager, the WM throws this
up asking user to whether he wishes to continue to wait till the client
finishes or wants to explicitly kill the app.

Also have a look at
http://freedesktop.org/Standards/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.3.html
sections : NET_WM_PING, Killing Hung Processes

Regards,
Narayana
