I would find such a facility useful as well. It can be quite a tedious job manually closing all programs within X. The problem seems to lie in a disparity between the way applications handle an internal request to close and an external one. It seems many apps treat an external close/quit signal as being more like a `kill' than a `close gracefully'. I believe this is related to the problem of session management; maybe looking for info on that may help? -- Jon Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
