- I must follow Ofir by pointing out the downside of ST-Guide - it ignores AC_CLOSE
- messages......this is quite a problem as it causes the machine to hang if a program
- exits and forgets to send ST-guide an AV_PROTOCOL close window
- message.....so a program
- has to watch st guide like a hawk, and spot the fact that it's window
- is already closed
- if someone has closed it by hand. It's not too hard, but it's worth noting.
