Well, I tried to run KDE just by calling startx. KDE loaded ok. THen, I shut
it down. No ctrl-c needed. `ps ax' showed no KDE or X processes running (so,
it killed all processes cleanly).
Tried to do the same thing running kdm. Logged in, and then just shut down. It
hangs!
Maybe (look, I'm not a programmer, it's just a guess) it's something with the
code itself, because even if it was 'waiting for a ctrl-c', and the machine
didn't respond to the user, it should at least respond to pings, since it's
the kernel itself who responds. Is it possible?
