I found out that you can capture the "X" with the following and run the
"stop" function to clean up, so now no leftover processes or files if the
window is closed:

wm protocol . WM_DELETE_WINDOW {
  stop
}

I've also noticed that the window position relative to the leader window
is offset, and I think that offset is the "Relative upper-left X" and
"Relative upper-left Y" properties.  I'll look into adjusting for that.
