What's the deal? Are we doing something really stupid without realizing it, or is xkill's man page exaggerating the safety risk?
Depending on the usecase you may want to use wmctrl/xdotool to close all windows (to give the clients the opportunity to intercept those requests for some final actions) instead of terminating clients directly. Calling "xkill -all" is of course dangerous, since you call all X clients - you do rather not want to cause this accidentally. The xkill manpage also states: "This program is very dangerous" ;-) Cheers, Thomas _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
