Can this be considered as bug?  I just tried the same for GCs and
XFreeGC doesn't generate any error when the Window has already been
destroyed.
Sure there is an implementation detail behind it, but GCs don't show
the same behavour and the whole thing somehow feels quite inconsistent
:(

I fear this would mean major refactoring, but seems the only sane way to go.

Thanks, Clemens
