My X session just collapsed & I had to login again, I've no idea what did it, & it doesn't worry me much, but it could've been a little embarassing during a customer demo or some such, perhaps it was just the old kernel, or X , or .. I was running my current (from yesterday) system with a kernel from a couple of weeks back, with a slip con. & 5 chimeras, & fvwm the odd vi or 2 & exmh, & a colour ghostview (of something I'd just picked up on thge Web), all on my 486, ie normalish load, 'cept a couple more chimeras than usual, + I don't normally ghostview in colour It wasnt the gv alone BTW, after I'd dropped the slip, gv started OK again, Whatever, s/w or hardware glitch ... it's just a datum PS I'm running an old kernel 'cos I'm one of those folks caught by the slice changes that hasn't figured it all out yet, & the old kernel is happy ;-) Julian S
