i don't like this idea.  java is still a work in progress, what we need
is
a way to kill the wps and go all the way to a command line then restart
it
a la xfree.  not just part kill it and have it restart itself.  usually 
the wps hangs on me when that happens.  throw in a way to do a absolute
kill
on any process and things would be much better =-).
