I have an XClient who sits with an unmapped window and awaits messages.
When it gets a specific messages it maps the windows and goes on. The
problem occurrs if someone turns off the terminal (Xterm) while the
client is running. If the client is in the wait loop it is fine. An
XSync upon restarting is takes care of everything. However if the
client is in the middle of starting up or if the client has a window
on the screen, it does not die. Then when it tries to do something
like change some values or map a window it dies. Does anyone have a
solution to this problem.
