Ok, so how come the difference in X11 and Apple's window manager?
In X, if I instruct a window to be minimised, it is - immediately. The
app running in the window gets a signal, and can do appropriate stuff if
it needs to, but otherwise doesn't do anything.
With Apple windows, if an app freezes with it's window open, trying to
minimise the window makes no difference. This is the same behaviour on
Windows, IINM.
MAx.

Right. I, er, 'dislike' this behaviour. If I ask the window manager to
close a window, *it* should close it, not the application running in
the window.
there's no reliable way to do that, apart from deleting the X connection
of that window (which will usually kill the entire application). That's
why most programs elect to handle their own deletion requests
