I wrote a cute little program that, when given a time (either absolute or as
a number of minuites) would go away and wake up to display a message at the
top of the screen.  The problem is that I attempted to program it for a
"reset" mode where you would click on it and it would come back in five
minuites to give you another warning.  What I don't seem to be able to do is
get rid of the window.  I am unmapping and destroying it with
XDestroyWindow() (and I tried XUnmapWindow() in conjunction) as well as
attempting an XChangeBackground call on the root window.  It doesn't do any
good.  Any hints anyone would have would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks in advance!
