	Oh yes, all nature of perversion can be had if you've got 
the mind for it. As part of an xlock program for the student workstations,
I've got xclock running backwards as a 15 minute timer (when the clock
runs out it kills your processes).

	What I would really like to do, though is reset the server or
otherwise get back to the xdm login window. Something like:

	XResetServer(...)

obviously, this call doesn't exist. Is there any way of accomplishing
this cleanly?
