Launcher suggestion:

In showing someone the xwt.org demos, they got in the launcher window:

Error: org.xwt.HTTP$HTTPException: HTTP Error 404 Not Found

He had to Ctrl-Alt-Del to kill it. [Win2000 using IE. I could repeat it using Xp/IE. No 'X' etc. to kill on error...]

Solution:
The xwt-users list shows the same problem on 404... The 'fix' is to press Escape to close that window. The suggestion to press the 'hidden' escape key was from November 2002.
-The 'better' solution would be either telling the user to press escape on the launcher window or a more graceful failure mode.

-Jeff
