It's supposed to do this. GDM, and I think KDM, both respawn after being |
| 17 |
killed, but IMHO this isn't a good thing. If you kill something, you |
| 18 |
don't want it coming back to life by itself. If there's a problem |
| 19 |
somewhere in your X server and the disply manager constantly dies and |
| 20 |
tries to restart, that can get annoying. It's not in slim because it |
| 21 |
shouldn't really be default behaviour. Might not be bad to provide an |
| 22 |
conf file option for this behavior, though. |
