xkill(1) is a wrapper around XKillClient(3), which is what we do via f.destroy. It sounds like Frank is wanting something more like our f.delete, which works via the ICCCM WM_DELETE_WINDOW (https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/xorg-docs/icccm/icccm.html#ClientMessage_Events) message to ask the program to remove the given window. So... you could probably craft up some sorta CLI stub to craft and XSendEvent(3) such a message, though that's manually frobbing a good ways deep into things. The "right" answer is probably just to add _NET_CLOSE_WINDOW supports to ctwm via effectively calling f.delete on it. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fulle...@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
