As a matter of fact, that is how it works. It is a design feature of XFree86 (and most other X-Servers) to perform a reset when the number of client connections goes to zero. In your case (and as discussed before) the xsetroot program is the only client connected, so after it set's the root

Yes, but did you try it anyways? Most Linux distributions set XDMCP up as default when it sets up X. I would simply try it, before you worry about setting it up on the Linux system. Another thought about the Netscape problem you are having... How much time are you giving it to come up? How
