Normal "SIGTERM" signal, that is: 15.
Note: the signal is send to the WINDOW (mostly xterm) and not to the
application unless the application IS the one that created the window.

You have to capture the signal yourself and send "SIGTERM" signals to
all active children. The window manager doesn't know about children when
they don't have "their own" windows.

SIGKILL cannot be captured. It is the "kill absolutely" signal.
In the menu's, FVWM will have both Kill and Close (Destroy and Delete)
actions. The first is SIGKILL (9) and the other is SIGTERM (15).
