When I run the attached code and use my window manager to
"delete" the window, the code works as desired. But I get
core dumps when I "destroy" the window.
When I run the code under the fvwm window manager,
the error messages are:
Gdk-ERROR **: an x io error occurred
aborting...
Abort (core dumped)
At first I thought I failed to include some essential element
in my code, but just before sending the first draft of this
note, I tried to "destroy" windows in example code in the pygtk
distribution. Those programs exhibit the same basic failure mode.
I'm running version 1.5 of python, version 1.2 of libgtk,
version 1.2.1 of gtk+, and version 0.63 of pygtk. I'd be
most happy with answers which point me to some new release
which solves the problem. My second choice would be advise
on how to make this code more robst. Any takers?

win.show()
gtk.mainloop()
