Hmm. Closing stuff with the destroy button does sound like a common
element, but I use a locally-compiled copy of rxvt instead of xterm so
it doesn't sound like xterm's problem. Do you use afterstep by any
chance? It occurs to me that I haven't had any hanging tcsh's since I
started using windowmaker.
I still haven't been able to reproduce it at will, even following G John
Lapeyre's process.
