As I understand it, any program that is running continues to run until the next re-start, when it uses the new version. You never need to reboot after an update, and you don't need to restart x - but if x has been updated it will not change anything until the next time it is started. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will shut down the x server and allow you to log in to a new instance - much quicker and nicer than a reboot - but even that's only necessary if x has been updated. Someone else will chip in if I've got any of this wrong. Anne - -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
