Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/X11R6/man/man1/startx.1x.gz
There is no mention of how to stop X on the startx man page, and of
course there is no stopx man page.
One needs to know the proper way to stop just the X stuff started by
startx, but without going further into single user mode etc.
True, one usually runs X forever, but still...
P.S.:the xserver(1) man page has a STARTING THE SERVER section, but no
STOPPING THE SERVER section.
Maybe one is supposed to 'read lots of documentation', but without eye
catching titles, one can't find out how to do this basic function in
a hurry.

Press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, or quit every running app. You don't run X "forev=
er",
but by the same token, there's no 'stopx' counterpart to 'startx'.
Closing this spurious bug - Dan, please start thinking before you file bugs.
