Re: Epplet question



Thanks for your reply. I will try it :)
The logout thing might be interesting. I usually
just do "init 0" as root to turn of my machine.

The CTRL-ALT-DELETE is basically the same as selecting the
"Logout" option from the mouse button 1 menu.  I wanted to add
another note, that someone on #E suggested.  They suggested
that I might be OK logging out the bad ways (CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE
or "init 0" as you did) as long as no NEW epplets were started.
I tried this for a while, making sure to logout correctly whenever
I tried a NEW epplet, and although it greatly reduced the frequency
of epplet problems, now and then they would come back duplicated.

It appears to be caused by E's "session management" capabilities,
but that's about all I know...

I wish there was a way to turn that stuff off completely, and start
epplets from .xsession instead.  I start my wmaker dock apps this
way, as it's easy to comment them out, when I need to run color
intensive apps.

At some point I may grab the E sources, and see what's going on,
but for now I switch to wmaker when I get too frustrated, but
I really love E, and always come back to it.

For what it is worth ...

John
