    When one of my customers wants to kill a window from his favorite
    window manager, he doesn't want to see "XIO Fatal Error" in his console
    window-- it is inappropriate.  It makes it appear as though there is some
    sort of bug.  Is there a way around this?

Yes, by having client install an error handler to detect this, and/or by
having the client and window manager use the WM_SAVE_YOURSELF protocol
described in the ICCCM.
