Hello! I have been trying to run tvtwm on my UHC SVR4 platform and have discovered an interesting thing about xinit (that was included in the UHC distribution) . Seems that xinit spawns a login window when invoked. However, there is no request in my .xinitrc file for any xterms to be fired up. I also run xinit at work on a sun sparc (MIT distribution) and xinit DOES NOT spawn any login window (or any I can tell) when invoked. Is this login window on UHC a 'normal' thing for init? If at all possible I would like to disable the creation of the login window. Any hints/comments would be GREATLY appreceated as I do not have the complete documentation from UHC (expensive!!) Thanks in advance! doug anson danson@udel.edu Univ. of Del ASEL

It will exit if either of those children die (after killing the other child). It has always done this (from X11R3). Tony. -- tony ,....
