Oh yes, all nature of perversion can be had if you've got the mind for it. As part of an xlock program for the student workstations, I've got xclock running backwards as a 15 minute timer (when the clock runs out it kills your processes). What I would really like to do, though is reset the server or otherwise get back to the xdm login window. Something like: XResetServer(...) obviously, this call doesn't exist. Is there any way of accomplishing this cleanly? ################################# :alex. #Disclamer: Anyone who agrees # University of Maryland Baltimore County #with me deserves what they get.# alex@umbc3.umbc.edu #################################
