At first when I killed a window my application saw a SIGPIPE and leaped
in front of an oncoming truck. Then I decided to ignore the SIGPIPE since
I "knew" what the cause was and would be smarter about dealing with it later.

This caused the following:

XIO:  fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server "unix:0.0"^M
      after 64 requests (63 known processed) with 0 events remaining.^M
      The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.^M

Is it possible to kill a window without sending the entire application
into the dumpster? I am running X11R3 on a sun 3/60. TIA.
