The phone manager (ph) is the left half of the status line (w3), the window
manager (wmgr) is just the upper right corner (w4), and the status manager
(smgr), which is really an expanded cron (w5) is most of the right half.

When smgr (cron), ph or wmgr die, you will find a core file in /etc/lddrv.

I am personally very suspect of smgr and the way it intereacts with the
window driver.

Partial ps -f showiing window devcies open:

   root    83     1  3  May 23   w4  0:01 wmgr
   root    78     1  3  May 23   w3  0:33 ph
   root    87     1  3  May 23   w5  4:45 smgr
