Sorry if this has already been answered but I missed it if it was. I'm
running twm on a pmax (DECstation 3100) and every once and a while
I'll get a portion of a window that won't die. Actually, I don't think
its really a window but rather a ghost where one used to be (the process
associated with the window is dead). It will obscure anything I try to 
place on top of it. It can't be moved, resized, iconified, etc. But, 
most importantly I can't get it to go away
without restarting the session manager. I've tried killing twm and restarting
it but that doesn't work. Does anybody know what causes this and how
it can be fixed. Or at least how do I clear the thing after it happens. 


thanks mucho - jc
