  That one closes the connection.
  
  Alternatively:
  
  kill $(xprop|grep PID|cut -d= -f2)
  
  This one sends a SIGTERM.

I want the client to receive a ClientMessage event type, with
wm_delete_window data. I'm pretty sure this is what the Openbox "Close"
action does, but that operates on the window that currently has focus, and I
want to be able to select the window using the mouse pointer.

Xkill comes close, and in fact does one of the two things I want, but it
doesn't do the close event.
