One must be very careful when clicking away a zephyrgram to make sure he doesn't
click away a new just appearing zephyrgram instead of the one he intended.
One work-around is to hold down the mouse button in the zephyrgram to be
killed, wait a second to make sure nothing shows up, and then let go. This
gets to be annoying if one has a lot of zephyrgrams to get rid of at once.
Even people who understand how this mouse action works get lazy, don't
wait, and inadvertently kill a zephyrgram now and again.
I am suggesting a fix that users be given the option of configuring zwgc to
not let the user kill a zephyrgram that is less than, say 2 seconds old.
Thus, if a new zephyrgram pops up immediately before the fatal click, nothing
happens.
