Please read a better approach I posted earlier. Btw, does anyone have
any lockscreen/screensaver utlities? It would be nice if I could lock my
X display while away from my desk...

Btw, have any FrameMaker user experienced problem with Xstation fail

problem. I have filed a problem with IBM, but have yet to hear anything
from IBM... :(
