  i've got an application that spits out the following if i hit it with
  xdestroy:
  
X Error: parameter not a Window
         Request code: 40
         Request function: 3
         Request window 0x2f10084
         Error Serial #43
         Current serial #48

  i have several questions.  first, other than "request window", what
  do the other codes and numbers tell me?  second, what is the method
  by which you tell that you've been hit with a XDestroyWindow and
  should exit quietly?  what should i look for when looking at the X
  sources for examples?

  sorry for the mundane question, but you have to start somewhere...
