Note, though, that using the '///' feature in Workspace actually seems to
kill off the Workspace, not log it out.  As if root did kill -9 on it.
Thus, you might find that certain programs (like Stuart) don't correctly
fix certain files that are modified in the course of the program.

Then again, if you _really_ need to get out of the Workspace fast :-).
