I am running xdm under Interactive's 386ix system V R3.2 
version 2.2. The xdm is run at the end of /etc/rc3.d/*
whic is sort of like at the end of /etc/rc.local. However
when the user ends the session the root window goes away
and the X server is re started and the new login widget
is put-up. I don't wnat the X server to die and the root
window to go away. ( I am running xdm with *serverTerminate
set to FALSE.)

So, why wont xdm run the way I want it to!
Email comments welcome.
