Window IDs are global to the server. As long as your child process has done an XOpenDisplay on the same display as the parent, you should be able to call XDestroyWindow with a valid Window id. After all, that's how xkill works. The parent process will have to be able to handle the messages that result from the XDestroyWindow. -- Tim Roberts, timr@xxxxxxxxx Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ Devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
