In your case, you end your .Xsession with an exec of xterm, so that becomes the "critical" client that XDM waits for. If you want XDM to end the session when the twm is quit, then exec twm as the final application in your .Xsession and make sure all the rest of the applications in your .Xsession are run in the background. - |Daryll ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Daryll Strauss f The Aerospace Corp. strauss@aero.org n Mail Stop: M1-102 ...!uunet!aero.org!strauss o P.O.
