However... vnc (it's in the ports collection) comes to the rescue quite nicely here. Typically I use it from home to access my system/account(s) and throw the vnc display back to home - *but* there are times when I will fire up NetscapeNavigator from home via vnc, and the come in on Monday and find there is a lock-file stopping me from starting it up. Ok, I could $kill and then rm the lock file, but easier is to use vnc on the local display, attach, and shutdown NetNav gracefully. My primary (:0) display has KDE, while the vnc display (:2) has Window Maker. (p.s. I'm looking at pulling OpenMotif and using that r.s.n. :') hth, haxxa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
