OPEN LOOK != Open Windows; Open Windows is a particular X11 (and NeWS)
implementation that can provide OPEN LOOK's look&feel, but others exist,
such as AT&T's XWIN or whatever they call it.  XWIN's server may handle
SIGHUP better than Open Windows's server does.  (Heck, you can run MIT's
server and the "olwm" or "olvwm" window manager and various XView
applications, and get an OL L&F, if you want.  Or you can run the
X11/NeWS server and some *other* window manager and applications using
some other toolkit, and *not* get an OL L&F.)
