- The intent of this change was to get the "logging out" business
- to work on all the heads of a multiheaded system.
-
- That is, if you ask to logout on head 1 ($DISPLAY = :0.1, say), the
- xprop command has to remove the _SGI_SESSION_PROPERTY property from
- to root window of head 0 ($DISPLAY = :0.0). This is because the
- _SGI_SESSION_PROPERTY is only important on head 0 (rendez-vous and
- all that...).
-
- If you have a one headed system the 4.0.1 way is no different from
- the 4.0.5 way.
