It sounds like you're invoking the windowmanager function to kill a
window. Unfortunately, this does not do what you hope. This function
in most windowmanagers closes the X connection from the server to the
client. There is no way to recover from this.
There are two solutions:
1) just click once inside the window. This is the standard way to
make a windowgram go away.
2) set "zwgc*enableDelete: True" in your X resources file. Why this
is not the default is an Athena anachronism. You can make it the
default by setting that resource in the resources application resource
file "zwgc_resources".
