If this is the bug I think it is, then upgrading to the latest version of
olwm should fix it.  This version is available from expo via anonymous ftp,
embedded in the XView distribution.  This is the source of the olwm shipped
with Sun's OpenWindows version 2.  (Note: you don't have to build all of
XView to build olwm.  You do need to build the OLGX library, though.)

Here's a description of the problem I'm thinking of.  You have an
application with multiple top-level frames.  Pressing the window button of
the first one closes them all, but pressing the window button of any of the
others has no effect.  Is this the bug you're seeing?  If so, then it's
fixed in the latest olwm.
