RE: Multiwindows problem

["Dawson, David W" <david dot w dot dawson at lmco dot com>]

I'll add my experiences here -- I think I see the same problem.

1) run Xwin -multiwindow
2) open Xterm #1
3) open Xterm #2
4) in Xterm #2, enter key combination "control-D"
5) Xterm #2 closes
6) Xterm #1 gets focus and closes immediately.

I have found that this also happens even if other (non-X) windows
get focus in between 5) and 6):  As soon as the 2nd Xterm gets focus
it terminates.

Also I have found that if I "Show Root Window" (via the taskbar icon)
**in between 5) and 6)**, the problem does not occur, AND NEVER occurs
again, even if the sequence 4, 5 & 6 happens again.

Jordi,

How are you exiting the console?  With Alt+F4 or by clicking the close 
button on the window?
