The warning happens in the XtDestroyWidget() in x_close() in x11.c

A quick check seems to show that call is not necessary since the
XtCloseDisplay() right after it does the right thing.  Originally
we had the destroy, added the close in 1999 to work with newer
X libraries.

Without tracing the X libraries (perhaps...), I don't see the reason
for the warning.
