ok, listen:
there is more than one way to end an application.
the Xserver can send a window a "delete_event" to which the window can
react in two ways: it destroyes itself, or it remains.
now, the window manager offers you anopther way to "finish" an application,
that is the "destroy" choice in the afterstep window operation menu. in this
case, the Xserver will cut off the x connection to the client, there is no
chance for the client to keep it's connection, and usually the client dies
with an x error.
you can produce this kind of x-error with any kind of application, xterm, xv
or what-the-heck.


now if you want your programs to finish correctly, don't kill em -9 and don't
cut off their conections!
