Even with only a small amount of gui programming experience, I will venture that clicking the X produces an "event" which the program code can handle. I'm not sure but I think there is no default window manager action if the program doesn't handle the event -- so you may actually have to send a kill signal to your hello-gui-world_version-0.1 program. So I believe the answer is each program does it's own thing. There is no system-wide window manager setting you can adjust. Sounds like we're talking about the program strategy for dealing with child processes upon termination. Apps that *quietly* launch a detached background process (eg, a daemon) that are left running when the app terminates are a pet peeve. I suppose I /should know/ that's what's supposed to happen with skype (etc) and torrent (etc) programs, but it's always annoying the first time I discover it. I usually do remember, though, since it does come as such a surprise when first noticed. Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
