A title bar button has a window context, a destroy on a window button "knows" which window to destroy. A root window key binding for destroy doesn't know which window to destroy (there is no window context), so fvwm changes the mouse pointer to the skull you saw waiting for a click on a window to know which window to destroy. -- Dan Espen

Thanks! -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable.

FVWM: fvwm showing kill icon when starting and restarting
Hi, what could be the reason for fvwm showing its kill icon on startup and when restarting? It seems to do that since after I made some change to the configuration, and I don't remember what that change was. When it first happened, I thought "ok, it's been restarted like so often and might be confused and this will go away on a fresh start" --- but it didn't. The configuration is here: https://github.com/lee-/fvwm -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable.
