How to close 'failed' function graphics windows? [message #88471]

Running on RHEL, IDL8.2.3 if I run a function graphics command that fails for some reason (e.g. malformed input or whatever) I get an orphaned graphics window that I can't kill. Clicking on the X in the top right hand corner of the window has no effect. I can't call the close method on the object because it failed to instantiate (i.e. is undefined).

How can I get rid of all these annoying zombie windows?

Can you try using the GetWindows() function, then destroy the windows object reference? It may be a problem with Refresh being turned off at some point. I have had a somewhat similar problem and this seems to work.
