		Has anybody written a new xinit type tool for
	the X-terminals.  I began this and got about half way there
	but thought I'd ask around in netland to see if anyone
	has already done this.  The problem is that xinit always
	tries to run a server (or am I mistaken), but these X-terminals
	just need to have the .xinitrc (or .xsession) file started
	up.  Then when the person is done, this knew xinit could do
	a killpg() to kill all the clients.  That in fact is the 
	problem I'm experiencing with the X-terminals.  If you have
	novice user logout of one of these without killing all the
	clients they just hang around.  Enough said, does anybody
	have any comments.  Thanks.

	p.s.	Perhaps it should be an extension to xinit.
