If data was lost, that's the fault of the applications that had connections to the X server and failed to clean up properly when that connection was lost. I don't blame you for being frustrated by the data loss; I recommend filing bugs against the ill-behaved X clients. When an X client loses its connection to the X server, at the very least it should save any modified open files to failsafe locations. Feel free to quote my words above in any such bug reports you file. > >$ /usr/share/bug/xserver-xfree86 > /tmp/output 3>&1 > >$ mailx -s "Re: Bug#261522" 261522@bugs.debian.org < /tmp/output > > > Ok, i did this, i hope it will help you. > Thanks a lot for you work.
