Next time you're logged in, edit your .profile and remove the line
that exec's the 'ua' on login.  Then log off and log in again - and
you'll find yourself in a regular look-ma-no-windows environment.

I'm not sure I understand the circumstances here - doesn't tapping
the "exit" key work for you?  Should close the current window -
unless the current window is the only one left open.

Hmmm.  I remember seeing that one ages ago, but I don't remember the
circumstances - I hardly ever (read: virtually never) use windows.
Check permissions on the Filecabinet directory, maybe?
