Ok, I've RTFM'ed the manual until I am blue in the face, but no luck in
finding what I need.  I run the Xapollo server in X-own's root mode,
and use dm to do the login/logout.  This way I get xwindows and twm as
a window manager, but I get the nice dm login/logout message windows
accross the bottom of the screen.

The problem:  When you use X, and create Xwindows on your display via an
	      rsh to some other host, if you then go to the DM login
	      window and type lo (logout), all windows except the remote
	      client windows are closed by the Xapollo server.  The other
	      windows remain active and up on the display, A somewhat
	      distressing situation.

What I need to do is to send the Xapollo server a HUP signal, but I want
to do it only when I type 'lo' in the DM login window.

So, Is there some way to do this?  I can get the pid of the Xapollo process
and send it the HUP if I can run a script prior to loging out.  Does the
DM look for the equivalent of a .logout file somewhere, when you logout?

P.S> I could use xdm, but I want to use DM, to log in for other reasons.
     I just can't believe there is no way to do this.
