Hi Guys,

I put the following command into the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 file

xlock -nolock -mode forest -inroot &

Problem is when I log in as another user I can't kill xlock as it is root
that has started xlock.

Any suggestions ?


Thanks
Graham

I think your best option is to use DisplayManager.*.reset   (in
xdm-config) to kill xlock by its PID

I find that to be too cpu costly - so I run xearth -once which puts a nice
image on the root window, or even xv -rmode 5 -quit filename
