Hi
I have installed xautolock

as the wiki instructs .
system is a FOG of two X4200 recently updated to S10u4 / SRS4u2
It seems to do what it should most of the time but a couple of
times a day it leaves
active firefox sessions behind so I get a few firefox sessions
every day that has lost
its parent and is owned by init.
That's odd. Can you inspect the process environment to see what
$DISPLAY is set to,
and is there an X server for that $DISPLAY?
Firefox (like any X client) ought to abort when its X server goes
away. Are your
X servers dying properly?

Well,
Firefox is owned by init while running in normal mode. this
might be the cause
to why its hard to kill it of by killing the Xserver.
No, this has no bearing. All X clients, like
firefox, have open connections (could be TCP
sockets, could be pipes, etc) to the X server.
When the X server exits, the X clients gets fatal
errors on all further X operations, and typically
they exit. I'm not sure they even get a choice,
IIRC the X library itself causes the process to
exit in this circumstance unless special handling
is applied (it's been a while since I looked at
that code, sorry).
I can tell you that when my X server dies, all my
processes die including firefox.
So, are you sure your X server is dying? Is there
some reason you're unable to do the inspection I
mentioned above?
-Bob
A typical process structure looks like this
in a nornal running X session.
user1 1080 1 0 21:22:11 pts/2 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/firefox
user1 1096 1080 0 21:22:12 pts/2 0:00 /bin/sh
/usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin -UILocale
user1 1104 1096 0 21:22:13 pts/2 0:46
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin -UILocale en-US -contentLocale US
then again lots of processes that does die by killing the X
server is also owned by init like:
gnome-vfs-deamon , bonobo-activation-server and others.
