Getting back into X after C-Alt-Fn'ing out.



I read some email in the Debian list a few minutes ago that said you can
switch to a text mode virtual console from X by using Control-Alt-Fn and
thought "cool, I always wondered if there was a way to do that... I
think I'll try it right now!" So I did and then I could not for the life
of me figure out how to get back into X. No manpages, info pages,
/usr/doc wildcard greps etc gave me anything useful. As a last resort I
removed the lock file and tried to isolate and SIGKILL xinit and
WindowMaker and every X related process I could find and I still
couldn't get back into X by restarting it, so I ended up *rebooting*.
So, you guys can probably figure out what my question is.... :)

Also, one other question. Is it possible to start two seperate X
sessions, so that you could say have one X session running WindowMaker
and the other one running E or something else, and switch between them
via control-alt-fn or whatever?

Thanks,
Christopher
