Is there a good way to get them to do this, It turns out that the right answer is the `sessreg' program, which is distributed in the same directory as xdm and which is designed to solve exactly this problem. Duh. If someone had pointed this out before I found it, they could have had the pleasure of heaving a brick at my head, but as it is I'll just have to do it myself. Oh, well. Bring on the brickbats. -- In some sense a stochastic process can do better; at least it has a chance. Mark-Jason Dominus mjd@central.cis.upenn.edu
