- | Well, of course, any X clients will exit, because their connection

- | csh), you'll see Xlib error messages on the normal console after the X

- | No problem. :-) The man page for csh would have done it quite some
- | time ago, actually.

-
- Not necessarily so ... I fired up the man pages on my csh at work (SunOS) and
- they did not mention it. Of course, I don't have the man pages for the linux
- tcsh, so that may be where I've gone wrong! :-)
