To clear things up, maybe, I think the source of the confusion is that when you say "blocks that client" it sounds like you're talking about processes blocking on i/o. I don't think he means the kernel stops running the client's process, but rather that the X server stops processing requests from that client, leaving them queued. -- greg _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
