bug in xdm?
I have noticed that if I use <ctrl><alt><fn> to switch
from an xwindow to a vconsole, the xsession sometimes
restarts when I <alt><f7> back. This never happens if
I started the xwindow via startx, but will when I log
in from xdm. All applications open in the xwindow are
closed and I lose any data not saved. However if I
started PPP in the xterm, that connection is still
open when the xlogin re-starts. This behavior appears
to have started after I updated from hamm to slink.
Also I noticed it on my previous setup (k6233) and my
current setup (PIII500) with different video cards.
Also I was using the xfree 3.3.2 svga server (from
slink) but am now using the 3.3.3 svga server (from
unproposed updates) with the matrox g200 card.
Anyone else notice this, and any ideas?
