In using xdm with PC servers, when a PC session dies abnormally (the
typical termination of a PC session) xdm doesn't seem to realize this
_ever_; we have to have a sys admin restart the xdm process - a
singularly non-user-friendly feature. We've tried playing with the
xdm-config parameters, but to no avail. Is there a "trick"??

Our xdm host is a Convex and the PC server is Locus Xsight.

Tnx for any advice. --- ctw
