I don't want to get credit for other peoples ideas. In this case it was Richard who proposed DO as a way to determine if an application is still responding. This surely is a great way to interact between GNUstep applications, but when working with a non-GNUstep window manager it wont help. That is why I did implement the NET_WM_PING protocol.
