First, not to start a wm war, but fvwm does have this ability. Second. I had the same problem when running X11R6 (xdaniver) under NetBSD-Amiga 1.1. The problem isn't getting out of the window manager, the window manager dies off just fine, the problem is that X never dies, it drops you to the hash screen and stays there, giving it the CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE would drop me back to the text console. I do not have this problem under NetBSD 1.2 and X11R6.1. -- Michael Parson // Illuminati Online E-mail: mparson@io.com \X/ Fnord! DNRC
