Description Reuben Thomas 2002-05-22 15:18:25 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; T312461; Q312461)

Description of problem:
I have modified my X Setup to start 2 X servers, adding an extra line 
to /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. Under 7.2 this worked fine. Under 7.3, this prevents 
shutdown/reboot from working from the KDE login/logout prompt: instead, KDE 
shuts down on the X server from which I have exited, but the other X server 
(and kdm) remain running. Executing shutdown -r|h now from the command line 
works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add another X server to /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers (say on vt8)
2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete in KDE to exit
3. Select shutdown or reboot (logout works fine)
	

Actual Results:  KDE exits...but kdm is still running, as is the other X 
server, and the system doesn't shut down.


Expected Results:  The system should shutdown/reboot.

Additional info:  As expected, commenting out the second X server makes 
shutdown/reboot work as expected.

Sounds like a feature to me (prevents you from inadvertently killing running  
session on the other X server).
