Hello,

1) What has /etc/X11/wmession.d got to do with denial of connection to the X
server.

2) What exactly can you 'hack' to get around this problem.

3) XFree86 3.3.x rarely suffered from this problem

4) I assume this is a security issue ? In which case there aught to be a
utility to help people overcome this issue. I have scoured the man pages and
web sites trying to find out how to get startx -- :1 to start working with
XFree86 4, but I got absolutely no where !

Please help us thicko's
Owen
