Hi Gunnar,

Thanks for your bug report.

Hmm, on my system (Debian 2.0, plain Xaw, olvwm) using the window 
manager command to quit dialogs kills the whole client for almost 
_all_ dialogs, except the city dialog, and the spaceship dialog.
Certainly the science report, but also the city report, help window,
and others I tried.

I don't know much about this problem, but a quick look at the code
suggests that this is related to the city dialog and spaceship dialog 
doing the following sort of stuff:

  XSetWMProtocols(display, XtWindow(pdialog->shell), &wm_delete_window, 1);
  XtOverrideTranslations(pdialog->shell, 
    XtParseTranslationTable ("<Message>WM_PROTOCOLS: close-citydialog()"));

While it would certainly be nice to have all the dialogs support
this, I personally don't see this as release critical. 
But certainly good to know about and fix in the future.

Yes, this has been fixed just recently.
