Hi, Ei, it worked!, thanks very much. I didn't tought of opening the display again, stupid me. I understand you meant to add a StructureNotifyMask, as well as the pertinent handlers on the event's queue, when you said to let my parent process to be able to handle XDestroy. I say this, cose I've done it, filled my xsever structure again in the child process (display, screen, fontsets, etc), but whether I try to map my windows again, a BadWindow (X_DestroyWIndow) error comes up, which doesn't happen if I just destroy them and exit. I've been trying using XUnmapWindow instead, but the results are the same. What anyother thing could I be missing?
