If you're talking about dialogs, closing them is quite a natural act
and simply unmanages them, removing them from the screen but not
otherwise hurting your application.  You *can* be notified with the
popdown callback (of the shell, not the messagebox or whatever).

For a primary window, if you simply want your user not to be able to
close it, you can do this with a shell resource.  Use:

	Mwm*Class.clientFunctions: -close
or:
	Class*mwmFunctions: 33

Sorry about the magic number.  Or (in 1.0.3 and up) set the resource
XmNmwmFunctions to MWM_FUNC_ALL | MWM_FUNC_CLOSE, which is where the
33 comes from.

Using protocols to cause a callback when "Kill" is selected is
described in the mwm part of the OSF/Motif Programmer's Guide.
