I'm not sure about zwgc dying ang your windowgrams going away.
However, if you're off the net for a while (I think somewhere between
5 and 15 minutes) and the zephyr servers try to communicate with you
(to deliver a zgram or whatever), they'll decide that your
machine/client is dead, and drop your subscriptions.
