Hi.
The quick solution is use a real windowmanager! ;-)
The real solution is to educate your users in how to use zwgc, and
edit the windowmanager configuration to not include a titlebar on
zephyrgram windows.
I believe what is happening is that the windowmanager is sending a
killwindow to the Xserver, and zwgc is interpretting that as a
killclient, and exiting. Zwgc only opens up a single window
connection to the Xserver and just maps multiple windows, so when you
get a killwindow, it doesn't really know whether this means that you
want the zephyrgram to go away or if the Xserver is dying and is
telling zwgc to die.
Hope this helps.
