What you need to do to correctly make a window go away...
Window type WDT_Def
transparency true
Move all XML elemnts that display in the window to -250 -250
Then edit the window size down to 1x1
That gets rid of the incompatability warning message and the window.

True enough. Maybe I should have been more explicit in the last post. For a few windows making a dummy file of them would get you into trouble (The bazaar window springs to mind here).
But, for the two windows that are most commonly commented out (EQUI_BreathWindow and EQUI_CastingWindow) making dummy files for them is perfectly valid. No incompatibility messages or errors should be forthcoming. Though I am only speaking from my experience with them and it wouldn't be the first (or last) time I was mistaken about something. Though your method is safer for most people deciding to get rid of a window.
Also with the dummy file for those two you get the nice bonus of not wasting memory to load something that won't even be seen by the user. And really, I just dislike putting in any code that isn't going to be used.
ps. Love your work on Glass. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished mod.
