Alas, it may only be happy in the "windows way" :)

No.

Is alt-f4 the same as clicking the close box? I *think* I remember doing
that but I may have used the task manager.

One thing I've noticed is that browsing on the same machine as the server
is problematic in at least 3 ways:
1) Often, the navigational gifs won't all load.
2) Saving a page breaks (i.e., http://server/swiki/2.save doesn't
load although the pages contents are saved).
3) Things get more and more sluggish and finally "hang" (as
stated above).
Interrupting a page or two simultaneous hits seem to make it happen more
often.

Aha! That reminds me! One symptom is that I'll see the odd
HttpAdaptor. Inspecting the contained socketstream shows (something
like) "socket disconnected at the other end but not this one". Sending
"close" to it changed its status.
Hmm. I can't seem to trigger anything, right now, remotely (it's loading
too fast for me to interrupt and simulhits aren't hurting, or easily
simulated :))
If someone has a simple socket logger, I'll take it, otherwise, I guess
I'll roll my own :)
