by Hi,
I've encountered a very strange problem when using the xdm program
either with XFree86 3.1 or 3.1.1 (latest slackware).
when I either start in my ~/.xsession file or in ~/.xession and
.fvwmrc (Exec "I" program) several programs or settings
like
xhost +someserver
xbiff
xclock
xset fp tcp/myhost:7000
and THEN either in the startup file(s) or from an xterm start
xsetroot -solid grey55 - and then select the logout on the fvwm menu:
Quit "Logout":
I can not restart the xdm! screen is black - nothing can be done
except rebooting (I can kill all xdm stuff from a telnet session
from another computer, but nothing happens anymore at the console).
I tried it with xdm, xdm -nodaemon - the same. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace works.
But NOT the logout option in fvwm.
When I only start xclock, xbiff and xterm logout works.
Any ideas how to overcome this? A bug in xsetroot ?
Thanks, Sebastian
