### PREVENT WM kills from happening
###
# the docs would have you do this:
# self.master.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW", my_delete_callback)
# unfortunately, some window managers will not send this request to a window.
# the "protocol" function seems incapable of trapping these "aggressive" window kills.
# this line of code catches everything, tho. The window is deleted, but you have a chance
# of cleaning up first.
