[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Oh, sorry... I just noticed in gdb I'd used my one-liner command line, and
the one you asked me to run didn't use "-nw".

If I use the command line you suggested, when $DISPLAY is defined as :0, I
get one window, and briefly a second; XUnloadFont isn't hit, since I've
still got a window open on that display. But I assume closing the final
window as in my test was what you actually wanted...

Also, if I use the window manager to close the X window rather than
invoking delete-frame, the "display :0 does not exist" message doesn't
appear.

Ken
