GUI window freezes when process is killed

Reproduction:

  • Boot the Redox 0.5.0 harddrive.bin
  • Choose any resolution (1280x1024@32 will do)
  • Log in as user
  • Start a terminal inside the GUI
  • Start a calculator
  • Run ps in the terminal, find calculator PID (e.g. 53 in my case)
  • Run kill 9 53
  • The calculator process (PID 53) is now gone if we run ps again
  • However, the window is still on the desktop, it can be moved but its contents are frozen and it cannot be closed
  • The same problem can be reproduced with file manager and character map (and potentially more if not all GUI applications)
  • The problem can also be reproduced with signal 15, SIGTERM

Expected behavior:

  • After a successful kill invocation, the Window that belongs to the process is closed and its resources are freed
