I too feel that a window should always be destroyable by fvwm just like
xkill does it. But there is another solution to this.

You didn't say what Closable should mean, but I would think this is a
user's setting to disable closing of some otherwise closable window.
So it should affect all Delete, Close and Destroy to be useful.

I think the problem of window operations disabled by hints or style may be
solved by introducing a new command/prefix Force (like Silent) that would
force Move/Resize/Iconify/Close otherwise disabled.
