The XmhDeleteFolder() function for deleting a folder in Xmh seems to be
a bit too powerful.

It seems to do a "rm -rf" rather than a delete.  I checked in
/usr/athena/lib/X11/app-defaults, and the folder delete uses the
function "XmhDeleteFolder()".  The manual page for Xmh notes that it
will delete subdirectories in the folder, which it does.

It does not use "delete".  This is probably a design flaw...
