And if you are paranoid, like me, you can do a "ps aux | grep xdm" to |

make sure it is dead. |

I have to mention that I had a problem with KDE a couple times. I would |
| 23 |
close it, stop xdm using the script, do a kill and it was still running |
| 24 |
several minutes later. I had to reboot that time because I wasn't sure |
| 25 |
what to do next. When kill -9 < process # >doesn't work, something is . |
| 26 |
. . . fishy. |

I hate that he had to reboot though. Sounds to much like winders. O_O |
