[GRASS5] closing monitors by click

[Andreas Lange]

Markus,

it is really annoying, i agree.
There is still the code around in the SWITCHER.c file of the monitors
driver that closes the Grapics driver on the X event. But it doesn't
work. I digged around the X Events and modified, but i couldn't get it
to work i remember.

It may have worked with previous versions of X11 (R4??). 
If some X11 specialist can tell me which ClientMessage event.type to use
(XInternAtom(); ), i'll give it a new try.

It should even be possible to redraw the screen contents on re-sizing
the window. 

I won't promise anything,

Andreas
