Yes. Apparently.

Well. I do it like this:
a.) The X Server is started
b.) dtlogin is started and I log-in selecting dxsession
c.) dxsession starts up and I've configured it to use
/usr/lib/X11/fvwm2/fvwm2 rather than /usr/bin/X11/mwm.
d.) dxsession executes the .X11Startup file to startup my
initial apps.
When I want to log-out, I use the dxsession's logout command which
apparently causes the x-server to die without fvwm2 noticeing.
Please note that this works without problems when I select the
standard Motif Window manager. It also worked without problems
using fvwm-1.24r
What can I do about it? I mean: What happens if the X server dies
for other reasons in your configuration? Then you run into the same
problems and fvwm2 will eat up CPU time as well. I think that fvwm
should just die when the X server died.
Thanks for your reply -- Tom
