I noticed a similar problem:
My window manager (fvwm) allows to "quit" a window (i.e.
make it disapear, not iconify) with a pop-up menu associated
with the window frame.
When I "quit" a file selector, Xforms causes my application
to quit, and I don't like that!
Is there a way to prevent this from happening ?
I would like much better
a behavior like that of Netscape: When I quit a Netscape
file selector, it just disapears, but Netscape does not die.
By the way, Xforms's behaves much better when I "quit"
an alert or yes-no question window: it does not die...
