Patches for unreleased software, why not just fix it before it is released ? It's just you. xlock isn't MIT software. You can bet that any MIT programs that might die in an XGrabServer (xterm does a few, xmag might too...) will be "pre" fixed... xlock is contributed software... It may be on the tape, but even if it's not, we want the patch. Thanks for the patch guy!!! Marty. -- Marty.
