Wasn't there a patch for this back in April or something? Anyway, I don't see why it's not possible to do both: when the process crashes, restart it, but when the X server crashes, restart the X server, give it a couple of seconds, then restart all the desktop processes. Indeed, this arguably happens automatically. They die when they lose the connection to the display, so when the X server's gone, you don't restart them immediately; you put them on a queue and traverse the queue when the server's accepting connections again. Unless I'm missing something? Cheers, Daniel
