util  Check-in [12c34052e4]

Overview
Comment:make safekill use _NET_CLOSE_WINDOW extension where available instead of XDestroyWindow, which is super unfriendly and frequently crashes or hard-locks multi-window applications. XDestroyWindow is still available as a fallback if the extension fails; `export k_safekill_fallback=0` to stop this
