Hello all,

This is from the wm-spec:

If processes fail to respond to the _NET_WM_PING protocol _NET_WM_PID may be
used in combination with the ICCCM specified WM_CLIENT_MACHINE to attempt to
kill a process.

Is there a reason why you can't just XKillClient on the window id to kill
off the program?

Thanks,
Ben
