After going over winprefs.c with one eye on the Platform SDK
I found several minor things that I corrected and committed to CVS:

What's fixed:
. We can't use LoadIcon() to get g_hiconX since it is DestroyIcon()ed.
   Use LoadImage() instead, like every other icon we use.
. The name of the windows class ended up with a random character in
   it due to an incorrect strncpy().
. Added more input error checking to the winprefs() functions, gets
   rid of the "pWin was null" error that happened when you reloaded
   the .XWinrc.

What's left:
. There's a small GDI leak, either when a window is created or destroyed
   that has a X supplied icon (xload for example).  I traced things as
   well as I could but came up empty tracking this down.  I know it is
   either in the creation or deletion because there is NO leak if you
   repeatedly do .XWinrc reloads.  When you start xload you go up by
   8 GDI objects (don't know what kind, only have task manager to help),
   but when you quit xload you only go down by 4.

I don't think any of these would cause Rodrigo's problem, but they're
fixed nonetheless...
