Most fvwm configurations contain a submenu with window options. The you can find
a "Close" entry. If there is no such menu, then edit .fvwm2rc and add either a 
a new button or create a menu from which you can choose "Close".

Killing the window causes the program to call the x11_errorhandler which normally
contains an exit() and terminates the process, freeing all window resources.
