Under mwm (Motif Window Manager), if an application is CLOSED by
selecting the "Close" entry in the popup menu which is generated
by clicking the button on the left top portion of the window,
an XIO error often occures with the following messages:

XIO:  fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server "rye:0.0"
      after 445 requests (89 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
      The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.

This happens with many applications (bitmap, xdvi, idraw, xfd, xlogo...)
but not with xloadimage, xclock, xload.  Apparently, any application that
has more than one window will get the error message.

Could someone explain this please?

I'm running on a SPARCstation with SunOS 4.1.1.  I don't know the mwm
version number.
