I think the kernel should be responsible for cleaning up after processes. We don't rely on processes closing all their files and freeing all their memory, either. So, even if X crashes hard, the console should restore to the state it was before. I know that Linux doesn't get this right either (how do the BSDs do it?). I know that this is not so easy on crappy "designed for Winblows" PC hardware, but I think a solution that works in 90 % of the cases is conceivable. The Hurd IMHO has a better position than monolithic kernels in this respect, I think. -- Robbe
