Using X11R4 with OLWM, I have a related (?) problem in that I
sometimes am able to delete the sole edit screen and sometimes not and
I never know ahead of time which will be the case.  However, if during
an OpenWindows session I am unable to delete the sole screen, then for
the duration of that Epoch and all subsequent Epochs opened during the
duration of that OpenWindows session, I will be unable to delete the
sole edit screen.  Apparently (just guessing), the window manager is
responsible for this behaviour.
