 I think this is the first time posting to this newsgroup from
Japan :-) .

 Even if My english is funny, I hope you can understand what I
want to say :-)

 I always think that "Ctrl-Alt-Backspace" is NOT a elegant
way to kill X server.
 So, I ported "xinit" included in X11R4 MIT distribution and
replaced IBM's shell script xinit to this.
 Then I wrote a ".xserverrc" in my home directory like this

X -n :0 -T -f 70 -c 60 -a 2 -fn rom17

and at the end of .xinitrc, I do "exec xterm".
So I exit from xterm invoked by .xinitrc, my X server is going to
kill just like another machine's X server.

Thank you for reading.
