  is there by any chance a Close (F??) key that you could map to open
new xterm? :-)

  the close (unlike destroy) can be ignored by application (at least
that's what I see some applications doing), but I am not sure if you can
do that from outside of the application.

  there is another solution though: you can make window unfocusable, so
that it never gets focus or make it so that it needs a click to get
focus. one of those might solve you problem., here's an example:

Style "oclock" StaysOnTop, NoTitle, Sticky, \
                        WindowListSkip, ClickToFocus

  this way, the clock does not get focus when the mouse is over it and
thus would not get closed. note that the general policy can still be
point to focus, it is just changed for the particular wondow...
