Hello x11@, How to reproduce 1- launch a WM, let's say, fvwm 2- spawn a terminal 3- find the pid for /usr/X11R6/bin/X (ps -x ..) 4- execute kill from the spawned terminal with the -KILL switch and the pid of X
CTR+ALT+F* keys won't work after that and the user is stuck with a static display. The only thing to do then, is to shutdown by hand. Tested on a current system (OpenBSD 4.8 GENERIC.MP#296 i386), with the default configuration, that is with startx using /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. Although killing X this way is not a good practice, I think this deserve a fix. bye, benjamin
